Custom Gauge Ideas for Diesel Conversion

[American_Engle_55]

New to this forum and looking for some ideas on custom gauge clusters that incorporate boost, pyrometer, and fuel pressure for my 12 Valve swapped 1982 Chevy K30.

Any photos of ideas or your own setup would be appreciated.

Here is a pic of the instrument cluster I am building. Pyro and boost, no fuel pressure. Took the upper left piece from another cluster and grafted it in where the a/c vent used to sit then put the a/c dust where the radio used to reside. Going to stick a radio plus some other things in an overhead console.

Do you have any photos of the overhead console you were talking about? That sounds like a neat idea.

I used one of these when I swapped the 6.5Turbo into my Grand Wagoneer -

Mounted it on the dash, to the left of the steering wheel. I used the POD-006 so the gauges faced the correct way (no pic on the 006 which is why I linked to 004, but that mounts to the right of the driver).

That sounds like a sweet truck.
