"New" stuff - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got a "period" correct radio to fit the uncut dash and a '68 gages dash.

I have a lights dash now that the PO cut holes in and put after market gages in. They don't match each other - 3 dirrerent brands - much less match the dash. Also, the tach the PO put in is small enough to fit in the center area.

I know I will have to get the tach style flexible circuit for my "new" purchase. Since I already have sending units for oil pressure and temperature gages do I just hook up those leads to the appropriate flex circuit inputs?

I intend to find some mounting point to move my tack from the column mount in front of the gages to the center bezel hole. I will have to cut an appropriate size hole in it obviously but am hoping there is sufficient room for the bach of it to fit and that I CAN find something to mount it to.

Any ideas on changing out my lights only to a full gage panel?

Yeah, got it on ebay. Someone bought a stereo shop and is selling 60's-70's new radios they had in the back. They are selling NEW in the box 8 track players! Amazing. As Maynard G. Krebs used to say, "What an age we live in".
