Should I Go with Warning lights or Guages?

[Isaiah92260]

My truck was a Original Warning Lights truck, someone cut the temp guage and oil pressure and installed 60's Stewart Warner Guages probably 40 years ago which they look like crap, the plastic lense is all scratched and has lots of over spray which I can't clean off,. So I found a original set of warning lights cluster for a good deal, but I'm curiouse if that's a good idea to go with considering that I live in the hot desert and if I should be monitoring my exact temps. I run at 160ish 170's in the morning, and during the day my tuck runs at around 185-195 and at 190-205 at idle. Yesterday when I got home it hit 210 when I parked and then shut it off, I am gonna do my water pump soon on my 250 I6. So that's why I believe I should keep track of my temps, cuz the truck has its days where it runs hot... .. So I don't worry about oil pressure because my truck runs at 40 psi at idle which is perfect. But I know my truck was factory with warning lights and that would obviously maintain its value if I keep it OG since I still use the 3 on the tree too.
