Electronic or Mechanical Gauges???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HotRod929 · 04-24-2002, 04:40 PM

I am looking to replace my existing original gauges with Autometer gauges but I dont know what these trucks had as far as mechanical or electronic gauges. Also when i get the gauges will the existing wiring just plug into the new gauges? Thanks

Stock guage cluster was electronic w/sending units. Electric or mechanical can be used if using aftermarket as both require some fabrication.
