Speed Hut GPS
 

Well I ordered my speed o and Tach for the truck. I ordered the 4" speedo GPS and the 3 3/8 tach to go in the middle. I'll use one of my own fuel gauges and buy all new oil, volts and water. Going to buy the little 2" gauges at O-Rileys when I need them.

Anybody out there have a new Ampmeter?

I'm going to keep the dash I have now since it has all the factory goodies in it.;):chevy:

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

Subscribed ! I am very interested in how it works out as I want to do the same thing this fall. Good luck !

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

Well it will be a little while since I have to get all the parts together. I have a couple of old dashes I may do a mockup on before buying a new one.;):chevy:

Glad to see you are getting your install off the ground Andy. I am going to post a link to my install for the folks that read this thread, to give them a little more insight on the GPS speedo.

Thanks Doc, I'm going to need all the help I can get on this one maybe. I hope to getter done by the Goof meet (April) but I don't know! I was going with all Speed Hut gauges but after seeing all the ones O-Riley has I figured they would be just as easy to use and don't have to worry about ordering them. All of them should be a basic bolt in and wire up. The oil should be nothing but hooking it back up to the line. Volt meter is just moving it into the dash instead of under it. Leave the ampmeter and water alone.I may need a ampmeter and water gauge so I don't have to rob them out of the orignal dash.;):chevy:

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

I have some extra gauges. If you can't find any down your way let me know.

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

Thanks, I may need to get some from you. I get all my stuff out and see what I do and don't have.;):chevy:

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

I got some of my old dashes out and found I have all the factory guages I need and a brand new circuit board for a factory Tach. I bought it years ago in case mine didn't work. I will need a new lens though for the dash maybe. I may just cut up one of the old ones I have. I have a old dash outer skin I painted years ago that I'm going to use as a geanee pig.
Hope the gauges show up this week while I'm gone. I'll start posting pictures next week I hope. Keep your fingers crossed Doc. This should be fun!:chevy:

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

I don't think you will run into any major problems but if you do post 'em up... Good luck!

Well after several weeks of waiting they showed up today!!! Been 2 weeks. I played with them today just looking at what they will look like. I got the 4" speedo and the 3 3/8 Tach.
1st is the gauges.

Here is a mockup in a old cluster. I just wanted to get a idea of how they will fit. I think they fit good. I may end up buying the rest of them.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/..._leaks_068.jpg

I have to decide which way to go. Going to O-Rialleys in the AM to see what they have to offer in the small bottom guages.:chevy:

Lookin' good so far. Yeah, if you can get the other ones to match that would be killer....

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

Yea, I think that is going to be the way to go. The gas guage looks out of place. I really didn't want to do all that wiring though. I was planning on the regular circuit panel working most of it.
I was surprised that the new gauges fit inside the cluster with no mods as far as the back panel.:chevy:

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

That makes it nice for sure. The less mods you have to do the better...:)

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

Got to have a circuit board for a non tach dash along with a lens for the same. I'll have to cutout the tach and speedo area so the speedhut stuff will work. Then decide on the rest after I get that done. Anybody have something they want to get rid of?:chevy:

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

I know this thread is a little behind. Just haven't had time for the install. Just ordered the new dash, lens and printed circuit. I hope to work on it next week when my parts get here.

Going with all mechanical gauges except for the stock gas guage. Everything else will be mechanical!;):chevy:

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

Well I guess I'm putting in another order to SpeedHut for the 2 1/16" water, oil, volts and air/fuel mixture guages. I was going with just generic gauges but have changed my mind. ;):chevy:

Re: Speed Hut GPS

Might as well get them all alike...:).. I think I am going to get a full set for the '70 when I get that far.

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

Yea,
I been playing with it some the past few evenings after work. I just don't think the mixing of the gauges would look to good. I'm also going to order the wiring harness for 8 gauges to make all the connection cleaner and simpler.
I'm going to call tomorrow and order them along with asking if I can get a 3" are 4"gas gauge to match. ;):chevy:

I got the new dash and printed circuit and lens the other day. So it's just a matter of getting the gauges all now. I have a couple of ?'s though about the fuel / air gauge that I hope they can answer to.:chevy:

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

I ordered the 2 1/16" volt, oil, fuel/air, gas and water guages today got the wiring harness to connect all the lights of them together to make it one simple hookup and the Gas is 3 3/8" to go back in the regular spot!
I hope to work on it next week after returning home from the beach.;):chevy:
Mine is white numbers that glow red at night. Muscle! Red pointer!

That should work. keep us posted on the install...

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

I will.

I told them to hold the order until next week after I get back home. They said they would. I'll call them next Tuesday and have it sent out. I should be home by then! Can't wait to see them installed. I plan to just tie into the wire connection on the harness. I ordered the new circuit board and lens but want need either one now. Oh well. I have it if I ever need it. I hope I can get the oil sendor and the cable for the transmission figured out by then.;):chevy:

Re: Speed Hut GPS
 

Another update. The order is suppose to ship tomorrow they said. Because I speacial ordered the 3 3/8" fuel guage it took a little longer. I called today and was told this. Hope to have them next week.

I will have the factory looking guages in all the right spots with the air/fuel mixture guage in the vacume spot.
Once I get the guages I will start looking into a radio harness plug to use for all the wires.;)
