Pondering gauges
I am ready to wire up the gauges in my c10 and I am looking for some ideas, the replacement chrome ones re nice but way to f***ing expensive, But the face plates are only like sixty bucks so I was thinking on putting the guages in all seperate since they are like 25, 30 bucks apiece roughly. Then i will just buy a tach, temp, volts, gas, and oil pressure gauges off evilbay or something then the chrome dash plate whatever it is called and it should turn out good,
This is just a though and I wanted some feedback on it, feel free to show pics and tell what you guys did, thanks

Re: Pondering gauges
Are you saying you want to put aftermarket gauges in a factory bezel?
That will never work, it cant be done, Just look at all these that tried. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ghlight=gauges Its impossible what your asking. Post a picture when your done.

Re: Pondering gauges
Man Im sorry, My humor is very sarcastic. I thought the link and the smiley face would give it away.
Anyway yes you can put gauges in the stock bezel (see the link above) or do a custom alluminim panel. Its up to you. Let your imagination be your guide.
