I like the black. But your truck the white ones may go better.

Re: what color gauges

I think the black will look really good in your truck. And your current set will look great in a box on their way to my house. (see signature)

Re: what color gauges

The dash going to be the same blue you have on your seats and doors now?
Are those the only ones working now?

Re: what color gauges

I like the black or white for your truck. Those will look good in there.

Re: what color gauges

I ended up going with Dolphin gauges in the Heap, I really like them. Mine are black but I really wish I'd picked white.

Also, I found that the factory GM fuel sender is close enough that I didn't need to use the Dolphin sender.

Re: what color gauges

What makes you wish you had gone white? Any particular reason or just personal choice after seeing them in person?

As I get older it seems the white ones are easier for me to see. My wife's van has white face gauges and I drove a buddy's car with white Dolphins.
