Kustom Gauges in dash bezel
I would like to see how you put or mounted your after market gauges in your dash. Is it a bolt in or is all kustom work? I'd like to put new gauges in my truck but would like to see how some of you mounted them. Thanks in advance.

Re: Kustom Gauges in dash bezel
I bought a full kit from Classicdash.com with Phantom Autometer guages. IT was a tedious but not difficult install. I wanted to get rid of the aftermarket tach on the column and aftermarket guages under the dash. here is some before and after pics. any questions just hollar.
before preparing the new stuff added an Ididit polished tilt column hope this helps. Dave Last edited by dmwphoto; 10-14-2010 at 06:06 AM. |

Re: Kustom Gauges in dash bezel

Re: Kustom Gauges in dash bezel
Chevy_Mike, do you have a build thread going? I want to see where you are going with that dash. Looks good so far.

Re: Kustom Gauges in dash bezel
Looks like your on to something there chevy mike. Mine would sure be nicer if they were angled up to see a little better.

Re: Kustom Gauges in dash bezel
Here's a couple shots of a set of Classic Instruments in a stock bezel. Actually, the gauges are mounted to an aluminum plate, and the plate is mounted to the bezel.
