Re: Lets collect pics of the dash!

70short, I like the matching color bezel with the black outer ring! I was thinking about all black on mine but now I'm wondering about doing it like yours.

What do you think about painting the glove box door to match? To much maybe?

Thumbs up Re: Lets collect pics of the dash!

MY glove box and bezel all match the interior. I think it makes my interior look cleaner.

Re: Lets collect pics of the dash!

I was thinking of redoing my dash with autometer gauges and searched the FAQ's. The only one I found put the gauges behind the stock bezel. From some of the pictures here, I see the gauge bezels outside the stock bezel. How is this done, is there a FAQ for this procedure?

Oops, Actually I was talking about the black outer part on the gauge bezel and painting same black outer part on the glove box door to match. I should've explained better.

I really like the looks of you dash with the silver, but I'm not so sure what it'd would look like in my orange truck.
Might look like the great pumpkin with an orange/black gauge bezel!

Re: Lets collect pics of the dash!

I want to convert to Autometer ultra lite gages. So I am thinking of using A custom bezel and not having the black around the edge to match the glove box door. The reason I am thinking of A different bezel its because Autometer no longer makes A gage that will fit the 3 3/8 center hole. So the new custom bezel will not have the center hole.

Here is mine with the autometer ultralites. I got it from Covans classics and they also make a glove box door to match.
