New gauges...recommendations?
Mine don't work so they're coming out. Anyone have any recommendations for some decent looking affordable gauges/clusters?
I found a direct fit digital cluster from Dakota Digital, but they just don't look very good and they really don't go with the truck. All thoughts/pics would be appreciated! Sean |

Reach out to TBONE1964 on the forum. He restores gauges and clusters and does a good job. He can probably set you up with a new clusters.

Re: New gauges...recommendations?
If you decide to go with a new set, I have used the Autometer "Street Rod Series" in a couple of vehicles and liked them. They are all electric and have a few different styles to choose from. Price is fair too.

Re: New gauges...recommendations?
I agree on contacting TBONE1964 and see what he can do for your original gauge cluster.
I haven't used them yet but Speedhut gauges are made in the USA  I've heard good reviews on them.

Re: New gauges...recommendations?
you can also try Marshall Gauges. They are ok and made in USA. 6 gauge kit averages $320 to $350. I have them in my truck and think they are ok and do the job. If I had the cash to spend I would go with better.

Re: New gauges...recommendations?
Hey thanks guys! Should've mentioned the gauges in the truck now are crummy aftermarket. No original cluster to be restored! I'll check out those brands.

Re: New gauges...recommendations?
Thank you so much guy's. I appreciate the reference and kind words.
Sean C, if you are interested, let me know and I can quote you for a cluster build. I have several 1960 - 1966 and 1967 - 1972 cluster cores here in my inventory and can build you one up in a stock configuration for a reasonable price. Take care, Tom

Re: New gauges...recommendations?
66LSx, could you give a list of those 10 gauges you have? My '66 C10 has the original cluster in dash but only the speedo works. I am planning on replacing them with lots of gauges in the very near future. Either I will keep the cluster frame or I will set the gauges in a sheet of painted steel. -Alden

Re: New gauges...recommendations?
Left to right : fuel level, voltage, speedo, tach, oil psi, water temp, (center: vacuum, fuel PSI, trans temp) (right: clock)
Will eventually be redesigned with 2 more (12 total then) : Air/Fuel Ratio and one of my choosing. ( air psi if i do air bags)

66LSx, Very sweet. I take it you did the job A to Z? Any hassle working with the original cluster framework? -Alden
