For those using Auto meter gauges- what sizes are you using in our factory bezels?.

bjohn3x · 04-09-2005, 06:40 PM

2 5/8, 3 3/8 and 5"

c10crazy · 04-09-2005, 06:47 PM

bjohn3x- thanks, do you have any pics?

Putter · 04-11-2005, 09:49 AM

Here are the ones I am running.

70c10 · 04-11-2005, 11:04 AM

Putter that looks awesome!

Putter · 04-11-2005, 11:06 AM

Thanks. I added them to the FAQ page that Ron started about mounting them behind the bezel.

c10crazy, I'm using the same size as listed by bigjohn3x.

Here is a pic

Sames sizes mounted from the front.

Mudder , Tyhat looks very sweet. Did you put that together? If so is the speedo accuate? Dig the fuel gauge in the middle .

**'70_402** · 04-11-2005, 02:02 PM

Heres Mine...

Mudder · 04-11-2005, 02:05 PM

The speedo is not accurate. At 50 mph on the speedo I am running about 60. You can change the speed gears in the transfer case to get it right. That gas guage is no longer available.

Mudder · 04-11-2005, 02:08 PM

BTW........With the price of gas as it is, having the fuel in the middle like that is pretty depressing. Especially when you can see it moving down..........

CHEVY & GMC FOREVER · 04-11-2005, 03:09 PM

Has anyone gone 160 MPH in your truck?

Putter · 04-11-2005, 03:26 PM

Only while calibrating my electric speedo. (during calibration, it runs to 160 while you drive to the beginning of your measured two-mile distance). Only actually ran about 45, though.!?!

GMan69 · 04-11-2005, 04:03 PM

WOW!!!

68haywagon · 04-11-2005, 04:03 PM

Putter how did you get the gauges to look like that. Are they mounted from behind?

All the guage setups look awesome.

Thanks,
Mike

Putter · 04-11-2005, 04:19 PM

Yes, mounted from behind using the instructions from the FAQ page (but with a few of my own little tweeks). Also used a new bezel from Tim Christian. Went with the electric speedo, and the electric oil pressure. Super easy to calibrate the speedo, too. Requires a two mile stretch of road, a press of a button, and about 3 minutes of your time.

68haywagon · 04-11-2005, 04:46 PM

FAQ section...got it. I always forget to look there.

Thanks,
Mike

Yes several times. I have a golf ball that I put under the petal. Keeps me down around the 75-80 mph range.
