[craftsworker]

i looked theru some of the history from the site,wondering who makes guage clusters (analog type) for our trucks.i have the factory tach,oil pressure,ammeter,speedo,water temp,

i saw dakota digital but not really my style,my truck is a daily driver so any change out i do has be something that takes less than a weekend,i want to reuse the factory harness if possible.

thanks in advance

I restore factory dash clusters.

Thanks for the compliments It is not all that hard, just BE HONEST but some people can be real ***** to deal with and want you to bend over backwards cause they spent $10 a lot of people of ebay play the game of picture deception.You know it has probably happened to you the ones where the pics look nothing like the part you recieved

Now about the green, if you could get me a pic, or a color sample I can see what I can come up with, if they make the color in the vinyl, I can get paint custom matched like the silver is.The rest of the color I have found a stocked color that matches them.The only problem I see with green is that is that the letters on the lenses I use are green, but I do have a lense I can make up with black lettering,but you can't see the letters and number at night.I haven't used any of this style lens becuase of not being able to see the letter at night and didn't want to risk someone getting hurt, although it looks killer Here is a couple of pics to show the difference, and the last one a night shot. Even with painting the innner tin white on the inside and teh backing tin white on the inside, you still cannot see the black letters at night

Byrd, those gauges are fricking AWESOME!!! I do have a question on my amp gauge though, do they go out often, as mine just stays in the middle with no movement, when I turn on the headlights, ect. Also do you have a price for rebuilts.

Thank you for the compliments
Have you checked your fuses in the engine compartment? There are two little football looking fuses, one near the battery, and one same spot just on the pass side near the volt reg. Most time that's the problem.
Generally I don't see much movement on mine either after initial start up and the alt is charging the batt back up, but I have an int. reg. alt which reacts much faster to changes in voltage/current then the old ext. reg. alt and pretty much takes most of the movement out of the gauge, unless the batt needs charging or you alt is going bad.

As far a price on a rebuild it is done to the individuals specs and vary widely in price. PM me what you are looking to do or want to have done and I can give you a price that way...Randy

Hi, thanks for the quick reply, I do have a new bezel and I have the tach conversion kit coming today or tomorrow and I was thinking I would like a clock or vacuum gauge put in where the spare is. The truck will be painted Silver inside and out at a later date, any thoughts?

[JIMS1972STEPSIDE]

I like the Silver faces but can you do the letters that are green in a black color?

Wow ... i really like those blue backlit ones.

I have a question ... i have a aftermarket tach. Is it possible to change my cluster out and have the tach where my spare gauge slot is right in the middle and use the existing wiring i have for my current tach?

Yes you can.. it takes some modifing though as I did this to mine. I don't have a picture handy, but if you look for the tread that just lists "tach", it's posted there.

Sweet! ..thx .. i shall PM you soon unless you want me to go through ebay?
