Anyone want to do my homework about gauge packages?
 
I have a 72 C-10. Bare bones. 250 w 3 OTT.

I’d like to install a gauge package. Problem is...I’m cheap and lazy. There are many on Amazon and eBay, but some don’t show the sensors or wires. Has anyone purchased a “value” package on there that includes most everything?

I’m looking for oil pressure, coolant temperature and voltage. If there’s one that’s not too much that shows vacuum, I’d go for that.

Thanks from your cheap, lazy Canadian friend.

You have to eliminate some of the variables for us. Are you going to add these gauges below the dash? Are you looking to integrate them into the stock cluster?

Thanks for the response. I’m thinking of a cluster that would fit under the heater controls.

Something like this. I’m not sure if it would have the sensors, though.

Those gauges come with the sensors. The water temp has a probe that is permanently attached to the gauge via a copper tube and has a few adapters. Oil pressure has a fitting that goes into the oil gallery and a small roll of plastic tubing to connect to the gauge. Voltmeter just hookup to a keyed 12v source.

Btw you can find those same gauge packages sold at many chain auto parts stores.
