Show me pics of your gauge panel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My Alter Ego · 07-08-2011, 12:15 PM

Looking for pics to get ideas to upgrade my gauge panel. Stock panel with aftermarket gauges, aftermarket panel and gauges, etc. If you have specs and sources that would be very helpful. Thanks in advance

the large arrows are the turn signal indicators and the generator/oil pressure dummy lights are my check engine light and bright light indicator

What's the gauge to the right of the steering column for? It's to the left of the oil pressure gauge, mine is empty?

That was for a vacuum gauge.

i can pull every bulb without pulling the cluster. my advice is that you pull the dash pad, especially if you don't have a tilt wheel. i have the 3 on the tree (and hence a rigid column) and it is a real squeeze wiggling it in and out. the top edge of the circuit board is easy to pinch this way!

all you have to do is disconnect the speedo cable (twists off), pull the plug on the passenger side that plugs into the board, remove the screws around the perimeter of the dash panel (on the inner edge of the chrome ring and unscrew the two big screws holding the little piece of sheetmetal that acts as a skirt around the bottom of the steering column. on my truck i now have to unplug the tach sender from the tach and yank off the vacuum hose too (just a push on connection).

yes....that is what i am after with my truck. a base model truck (well it is a C20 custom deluxe). doubt any 3 on the tree trucks came a tach. and nothing below 1-1/2 ton ever got the vac gage but you can add it easy and make it look right since there is a spot in the cluster for it. i am adding just enough to make it user friendly and beef it up for trailer towing (sway bars and all the poly chassis bits from CPP that will work with a stock truck) but it still sports the factory interior and even the stock hub caps!

don't know what you mean? the cluster face is the original faded piece with cracked chrome. i just made sure it was dust free when i put it back together. the kit only reuses the face, gages, and i believe the small back panel that the temp and battery gages attach too. you get a new panel for the oil pressure gage to make it easier to mount the vac gage.

I'm keeping it as close to "68 Hot Rod" as possible. Just couldn't resist the white face gauges and Tach though.

Thanks capev86; it looks clean in the picture, maybe the lens is just faded on my truck's gages.

tdp67 · 07-11-2011, 02:43 PM

I like the look of this one a lot. How did you do the white around the gauges?

71gmcburb · 07-11-2011, 08:36 PM

you disassemble the cluster and there is a metal piece that goes between the lens and gauges. I masked off the turn signals and sprayed that tin gloss white. I reassembled the dash like I said clean and simple here's a link to the pics i took when i did it you will have to scroll down a little ways to see the pics
