How about dash/guage bezel/guage pics! - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

very nice dashes and guage setups...dash pics are welcome too.

especially custom stuff.

motornut · 01-24-2012, 01:12 PM

i had stock idiot lights
cut off the pocket ,top right
used a Autometer tach for a while till recently installed a factory gauge/tach cluster
and then put my new radio top right

I painted the inside of the cluster gloss white while it was apart
made a big difference,added red LEDS for a second colour

the whites act like normal,red come on when the truck is running
kinda neat having the cluster light up without running lights

Thanks guys for the kind words about my dash panel/bezel , I really wish I could make some more of them but I just havent had the time or another truck to fit it up to ,

vegas80step · 01-26-2012, 10:14 PM

I just started messing with mine this week... I'll post some pictures when it's done...

I was going to but the brushed cover over the top but I decided to smooth it also... This was my first fiber glass/bondo project so it's going a little slow... but looks like it's getting there

That is by far my favorite. Those look so clean being installed as if they were factory but with the perks of autometer gauges. Love it!
