No doubt, those are some nice gauges!

Luckily, everyone like different things. I have built clusters that I personally didn't care for each item included, but it's the end-user's truck and that's all that matters!!!

I updated my originial post....but...

What I want to ask, is it better to get an original, extra guage cluster restored or just buy a new multi guage cluster from a vendor (getting into the $500.00 range)?

Hard to answer that. I know aftermarket can get very spendy very fast. I personally have about $750 in my truck's cluster. Others have spent less. Just price out some gauges (e-bay, Summit, Jegs, etc....) and see what you are looking at with aftermarket gauges.

I LOVE a factory tach dash....but I never found one until AFTER I have finished mine. No way I could dream of getting my money back on a "used" aftermarket setup, so I never changed it out. (Actually sold the factory tach dash earlier this year).

So, opinions will vary and "to each, his own". I support all of them!!!

Heck, I have even "coached" guys who wanted to build their own and offered suggestions. No sweat! I don't build clusters for a living....it's just a little extra fun money a few times a year.
