Show me your custom guages...

Including any new layouts for the guages themselves. I am going to eliminate the stock guages in both trucks and would like to see what you guys have done with yours.

Re: Show me your custom guages...

How do you guys like your Autometer Ultra-Lite guages? Do they light up bright enough at night with the "around the dial" lighting? I'm trying to decide which line of Autometers to buy for my '69. I'm kinda leaning towards Cobalt, C2, or Phantom II right now.

Re: Show me your custom guages...

Is there a FAQ on how to put the Autometer gauges in a stock gauge cluster?

Re: Show me your custom guages...

I can't take credit for any of this as I saved them from another thread. I also can't recall what board memeber did these but I am thinking of using this idea.

Re: Show me your custom guages...

Chevy Fan24, I got them from a J&J Engineering.You can google them or 67-72 chevy truck billet instrument panel.There # is 909-585-2252,his name is Javier, and he's a good guy.I like the way the guages fit and I have kind of a race concept for the 68 Im building,so it works well for me.
