anybody have a temporary idea for gauges?
 

i took the dash part in my 85 to see what was wrong with my speedo and found a mess. the PO added a aftermarket temp gauge where the Voltmeter was. he hacked up the white back piece and the circuit piece is all bent and broken. i think most lights arent working. any ideas what i can do so i can drive it? i cant afford new gauges right now. i would need the circuit piece and probably the white plastic piece. the connector hasnt been hacked that i can tell.

i was thinking if i could just hook up a speedo, fuel gauge, and maybe aftermarket oil pressure and temp.

I drove one for almost a year back in the 90's without any gauges or dash pad or glove box or duct work.... Does not really hamper the trucks ability to drive down the road.

my biggest concern is guessing my speed. i think i might install a 12v plug where the cigarette lighter was and use my wifes gps for that.

see im brainstorming here.
