Need help with gauges
I am about to start ordering gauges for my truck and I am not sure which to go with. I am not sure if I want Pro-Comp's or Sport Comp's. Any suggestions? Is one better than the other? I plan to go with a 5" Speedo and Tach, 2" Volt, Fuel, Water Temp, and Oil Press. Much like everyone who uses the factory holes in the dash bezel.

I think I just solved it. Pro-Comps are in dash mounted, whereas Sport Comps are not. Correct?

One problem I had with those Sport Comps is that when I installed the air/fuel ratio gauge I couldn't get one to match the Sport Comps.

Have you seen Swervin's setup? That's the way I'll go with when I hit the lotto

I'm in the process of putting these in my truck.
Have a combination of both the Pro Comp and Super comp. Do a search on this, there are several listings on this change over. Some have then mounted from the front side and some on the back side. If you'd like some photos PM me.
