The gauges are electronic. Basically the stock ones out of the 97 yukon. I took the lens and backing off it and built my own backing and aluminum faceplate to fit the truck ( i cut away the stock gauge holders in the dash to make this fit - which some guys may not like but I want it kinda modernized a little in a sense and then everything just plugs into the yukon harness easy, plus its what I had - on a budget). I'm going to get a few more pics of everything in next few days.

The frame width isn't too much of an issue being its getting a fair amount of body lift - if I was tucking it down more flush it would be impossible, I can really see why guys use s10's for street trucks, but i want a 4x4 with a bit heavier drive train than a s10. One of the sets of rims I have just fits under fenders, they are not the ones in pics I have posted yet.
