I want to put white faced gauges in my 84 Silverado. Any suggestions on make, size and install would be greatly appreciated. Thanks too much.

Better make that http://www.73-87.com The main.htm won't get you too far.

I don't have a main.htm page since I done some changing on the site.

Here's a direct link to my gauge page and the gauge pics page. The gauge pics are a little old. I need to update them.

There is a few ways to do it. They all have a different look and they all look good to me. I would seriously considering do it different next time, but I really dont know.
Besides Swervin who posted above heres an interesting one. If a board member owns this, I would like to see more pictures of this. I think its interesting and Id like to see some close ups.

Im currently changing some stuff on mine, but heres a couple pictures. I should have some new pictures up soon.

You can also install them with the VDO vision series gauges, however my install seems a bit less popular.

Jeff :p

I think your intstall looks good. Pretty clean. Just not a fan of the fasteners used for the black outer bezel

Lol.. Hey Red those are highly technical items right there.. Looks worse now because the ol' Bezel is cracking with age.. Oh well, next week hopefully the new one will be installed.

Function over form - now that it works, time to make it look good.
