The big ones are 5" the fuel guage is 3 3/8 snf the bottom guages are 2 5/8.... The bottom guages are the only ones you have to make the holes bigger for. I used a dremmel sanding disk and sanded just to the edge fo the chrome around the hole.

Turn signals and bright light is all done. I used some red panel lights for the turns (fit great in the orginal holes) and a small red led for the brights and I mounted it over by the light switch,

I can't quite read those across the bottom - is that oil pressure, water temp, trans temp, and volts?
Looks extremely cool...if/when I do that, I'll probably go white-faced, though...

You're right Project1970....Hey all they actually make rings that fit over the bottom guages that will angle them upwards. I have the part number here for them but they come in packs of threes.

Very sweet!!!
I have been wondering what to do with mine, was thinking of making a complete new panel as my plastic is all cracked, but that is so clean looking I better start looking for some donor plastic.

Cool.
One other question...with one of those AutoMeter speedos, are you stuck resetting your truck's odo to zero or can you wind it up to the old mileage fairly easily? I have no problem with the fact that my truck has 134,000mi on it and counting.

If you want to change to the old mileage, simply put a drill with a speedo cable into the back on a low setting and run it up.....will take a long time though..............

Seems like in the old days they ran the drill backwards to turn the mileage back.
