I used Auto Meter sport comps and they fit tight in the existing holes! (I know this pic isn't the greatest but it's all I have on this computer)

fatboys69 · 08-29-2008, 10:42 AM

I used the Covans insert with Autometer UltraLites

GKsport67 · 08-23-2008, 02:13 AM

Kev your blazer is the epitome of Classic/Modern!!!

...maybe its Modern/Classic?
Nice work!

1969stepside · 08-23-2008, 02:15 AM

can you roll the speedo back?

mrein3 · 08-23-2008, 08:54 AM

Here's what I'm rolling with...

Andy4639 · 08-23-2008, 10:22 AM

Mine is factory tach with a added speed warning buzzer. I also added the clock out of a later 70's truck.

i like that bezel. i think i might do something like that bud in blue. and only the 3 guage holes, Spedo, tach, Combo(volt,oil pressure,water temp, fuel)

thanks for the ideas!

awhite4557 · 08-24-2008, 09:50 PM

I went with the Dakota Digital dash, IDIDIt tilt auto column with Billet Specialties steering wheel.

Ol'Rover · 08-23-2008, 10:09 PM

great stuff! keep em comin!

67_C-30 · 08-23-2008, 10:56 PM

The first is the cluster in my ramp truck. The bezel has been painted with balck polyurethane and had a Cheyenne Super woodgrain decal with white overlays. I used the white decals on the faces and on the tins (instead of painting the tins white) and sanded the letters and numbers off of the factory lens, and polished it out clear. I didn't care for the greenish looking letters against the white. Its a little different looking than most.

The second is the cluster that is going in my '67 C-30. It has a vacuum gauge a 4000 RPM diesel tach. I am going to put a woodgrain decal on it also, but I'm going to paint it with textured bedliner paint like I did on the glove box lid of my '69 C-10. Really different!

This is a look I want, too. I have a nephew who did some engine turning for his '79 T/A dash.

The look you got is what I hope to have. Maybe the same thing as an applique on the glove box door, too. I'll be using Mahanians' radio surround and I'm thinking it'll all look good when (ever) I'm done.

biggreen292 · 08-24-2008, 08:47 PM
