new gauges...pics please
I am thinking of taking the factory gauges out of the 72 and replacing with updated newer gauges. Have any of you done this...if so do you have any pics I can see before I make my mind up? Thanks Don

I'm curious where you found these? I am only seeing them sold as a kit, tach with quad or MPH with quad were you able to buy them as seperate gauges? Also are the sizes you used 5" for the tach and MPH and 3 3/8 for the quad? Thanks, -Fred

Re: new gauges...pics please
Here are the AutoMeter Phantom guages I am using (I later swapped the tack and speedo to the opposite positions).

Re: new gauges...pics please
There is quite a few folks doing these. Depends on your taste in gauges. Good luck with the project.

Re: new gauges...pics please
That is the same setup I am going with in the Cheyenne Killer. For some odd reason my truck was only optioned with the idiot lights.

Re: new gauges...pics please
jackyl9999 - is that a dimmer switch on top of the clock? Did you get those pre- made or did you order those separately? It looks really nice.

Re: new gauges...pics please
That is my high beam indicator above the clock. I bought the gauges, a new new bezel, got 1 piece of lexan, and a aluminum plate to mount the clock in. It was quite a project. btw the turn signal and high beam ind. are painless lights. Thanks !

Re: new gauges...pics please
Killer71,
Did you have to mix and match those autometer gauges? I was under the impression that the quad gauge only came in a kit of sorts. I've been wanting to do the same set up with black face gauges. Not trying to hijack anything here post wise, just curious. -Fred |

3-3/8" quad guage Autometer part # 1312 (or #1612 or there are others) http://autometer.com/cat_gaugedetail...earch&gid=3483 5" Tach Autometer part # 1399 http://autometer.com/cat_gaugedetail...earch&gid=3308 5" Speedo (elec, programmable) Autometer part # 1389 He's doing a GenIII swap also, I think gringoloco is too (?), so we can get away w/electric speedos. I need to screw around some more and find something fitting for me. I'll miss the old blinkers unless I can find someway to mount them somewhere. If you want to buy these parts separately, go to jegs.com or summitracing.com and type in the four-digit number of the Autometer part, and you'll find it there.

Re: new gauges...pics please
Here's my set up Covan's panel with Autometer Ultralites. A bit $$$ but I like them, way more accurate than the factory gages !!
