Temp and ammeter gauges - - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The factory ones are pretty crappy - who has replaced theirs with more accurate ones, and is there any particular ones that fit in the existing spots that look good and don't require any modification?

Does anyone have any ideas?

I relpaced all the gages with Autometer because the trans had a VSS and nobody made an electric speedo that matched the stock ones. The 2 bigger gages are 3 5/8" drop ins. The smaller ones are 2 1/16" and you have to make the holes a little larger. They make all styles I just prefered the Artic White. I used a 6 wire trailor plug in case I need to remove the dash in the future.

Those look really nice - but I was wondering if you replace just the two gauges without replacing them all.

Skys the limit with that....Just get two that are the right diameter for the hole.
