got my white gauge overlays - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CT-Truckster · 07-06-2003, 04:52 PM

well i got my white gauge overlays in from chevychic last week. may be a month or so before i'm ready to put them on. but they look good. any body else got theirs and put them on yet?

Nope, just got mine Friday. Were yours cut out ready to peel away from backing ?

I don't think mine are,

I hope my hand is steady enough to cut out

Got mine installed this weekend they look pretty good too. Steady hands shouldn't be an issue they are really easy to install. Just take your time around the odometer and the lights around your fuel gauge. One thing i noticeed is all of the gauges are labeled except the fuel gauge

Is it just mine?

Hey guys,

These are the first shipment of gauges to go out to anyone, ever. If you have any suggestions for improvement or anything, please PM me and let me know.

I can look into having them precut, but that may add to the pricing. Adam is right, you shouldn't need a steady hand to cut it out. There's a line to guide you as long as you cut along the line you're ok. The large gauges aren't perfectly round anyways so even if I were to have these precut, they'd still need to be cut some.

The fuel gauge isn't labeled. Neither was the stock fuel gauge in my truck. That could be easily added, I just kinda figured that people would know by the big E and F that it was a fuel gauge

I'm always open to ideas and suggestions for improvement (within reason) so don't hesitate to PM or e-mail me if you have any.

The only reason I bring it up is that it looks a little unbalanced with everything else labeled and nothing on one of the bigger gauges. I think they look great though. Thanks chevychic

I got mine too hope to install them this comming weekend they do look great just mulling it over on the needle things. I am not sure if I should try and remove them or just cut a slit and slide them over any suggestions would be apreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Mine came off real easy using two small flathead screwdrivers, make sure you note where the needle is pointing when you remove them.

So far all I got done was my clock and it was fairly easy. Anyone do the Heater, A/C controls yet?

Nvbowtie · 07-08-2003, 05:22 AM

I am gonna install mine once the truck is back from the shop

CT-Truckster · 07-08-2003, 05:13 PM

well i don't mind that they aren't precut. what i was thinkin i may do is cut them a little big and then trim off what is left hangin off the edge of the gauge if i can, that way i know i won't screw up and cut them too small. the fuel gauge looks ok to me,
