I suck at computers, so I'm still trying to mess around with getting pics onto this site. Basically, if i buy an exact replica of the original dash panel for my 83 c10, will it only take the recessed gauges that originally came on that truck, or will it also work with gauges that have chrome bezels , so the gauges are flush instead of recessed? Also, while looking at a cataloug today, i noticed that they sell circuit boards to go with the dash panels. Are circuit boards specific to certain gauges? I was figuring i could just buy the gauges, dash panel and wiring and that would be all i need to replace the dash. Do all gauges need a circuit panel? If so, would the circuit panel from the original gauges be compatible with any gauges or am i going to need a special one? Thank you!!
