Custom dash panel. Looks easier to use if you want to install new gauges!
 

Someone may have already posted this but I just found them.

I figured if they are flat on the back it would be way easier to put gauges behind this bezel than a stock one. then again how would you connet them?

They have them for 6" tach and speedoes as well. Anyone bought one of these yet?

They even have blanks so you can do your gauges any way you want. I think that is pretty cool!

It would be cheaper than forking out $260 for the bezel linked above, then the additional $500 or so for quality gauges.

pretty cool... good option if need to replace your bezel anyway, especially if converting to a 700r4 without a mech speedometer...

I have been thinking about these but they are made by Covan's and based on other models I have seen and people I personally talked to, who have ones (not the 73-87 models), they are kind of cheap, thin plastic and question how long they will last. The ones I have seen, they are definitely not the thick GM quality type plastic.

So the big question, does anyone here have one for the 73-87 trucks? Opinions?

I look'd at these for my '78 Malibu, there price's are crazy ! the idea is cool but no way worth the cost.

Yeah especially when LMC's are $150 a pop.

Although that blank one would be nice to do my touchscreen dash idea!
