Dash Gauges

I'm looking to replace all my gauges in my 82 K10 in the next week. I am looking at buying all auto meter phantom series. Will the 2-1/16 gauges fit in the 4 small holes, and the 3-3/8 fit in the two large holes? In the past I seen some threads but I can't find them for reference. I was intending just to mount them to the plastic outside bezel. Any thoughts or input. Thanks.

Re: Dash Gauges

the large holes are 5" so you'll need to recesses them or make a panels to go over the stock bezel

Re: Dash Gauges

Re: Dash Gauges

Yours look good. I'm just going to have to take a step back and do some figuring I guess. I was hoping I could get away with recessing them in the bezel....

I'm gonna use the Ultra-lite II gauges in mine, and order the billet bezel from LMC.

Hope this helps
