Aftermarket Gauges - Genuine Hotrod Hardware

Hey Guys,

Hope you all had a productive weekend! I usually do more lurking than posting here, absorbing all the info and "lessons learned" others have shared here.

We finally got the 78 down to the frame this past week and on Saturday, spent most of the day out at a friends shop sand blasting the frame. I'll be updating my build thread later this week with some before/after shots of all the sandblasting we did.

On to the subject at hand...after market gauges. There's many a thread here on this subject, but in searching the forum (via google), didn't come across anything on these particular gauges:



These are Genuine Hotrod Hardware Gauges listed at Summit Racing.

I've been looking around for something different than Auto Meter (I like them, just looking for something a little more classic/timeless) and stumbled upon these.

Was wondering if someone whose gone with aftermarket gauges could look at the specs on those and let me know if I'll be safe with them. I have a Painless wiring kit for the truck already, and I'm pretty sure since these are analog I'll be safe. Just need a little reassurance.

I think they'll look killer on the dash bezel!

Re: Aftermarket Gauges - Genuine Hotrod Hardware

I like that set, very cool... I just got some that I have not seen much before in the past. I found them from a guy that did hot rods and they have never been in a car. They are 10 years old in the box, It's some of the old school moon's.

So go for it..
