Kustom Gauges in dash bezel
 

I would like to see how you put or mounted your after market gauges in your dash. Is it a bolt in or is all kustom work? I'd like to put new gauges in my truck but would like to see how some of you mounted them. Thanks in advance.

Dave that looks kool, but I plane on using the original guage panel. I have seen some on this forum, I just would like to know how other people mounted the after market guages. Thanks for posting.

Chevy_Mike, do you have a build thread going? I want to see where you are going with that dash. Looks good so far.

Re: Kustom Gauges in dash bezel
 

thats pretty cool! I bet you could sell a few of those.

Re: Kustom Gauges in dash bezel
 

Looks like your on to something there chevy mike. Mine would sure be nicer if they were angled up to see a little better.

Here's a couple shots of a set of Classic Instruments in a stock bezel. Actually, the gauges are mounted to an aluminum plate, and the plate is mounted to the bezel.
