Autometer Dash Setups - Looking for Pictures - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cped · 08-15-2003, 11:51 AM

Looking for pictures of Autometer gauge setups, preferably in the factory bezels. Trying to get an idea as to what guages look the best in there and which configuration (front loaded or rear loaded) looks the best.

Thanks in advance for the info.

cped,

My Dad has a full Autometer set up in his truck. I don't have pics right now but could get some tonight if you would like. His are top mounted in the stock locations but on a flat peice of billit. The billet is on a stock bezel. In my humble opinion this looks like a race setup. Which is what we wanted. You know like looking at a pro drag car or a NASCAR dash. The ones I have seen recessed or back mounted look good too. They tend to look more "factory". Again just my .02 cents.

Later
Chad

The October issue of Classic Trucks (not out yet) has an article showing this install with the gauges mounted a variety of ways with the stock bezel.

Great, thanks all, but please keep 'em coming.

Thanks for the inside scoop, I will definitely keep my eyes peeled for that issue when it comes out.

Thanks,

Cped-
Look at a post I made about a week ago entitled (Thor50) Mudder67 posted a picture of his dash and Thor50's dash and they both look sweet. Sorry, I don't no how to link it but it is probablly about 7-8 pages back.
