I wish you hadn't done that. I thought I was going to be happy with the minor mods to my dash I have planned but now you have me thinking. Help us all.

And to think I was worried about cutting the light switch and windsheild wiper switch mounts off to install the new dash from No Limit!

Well, I finally got pricing. Sit down. The 5" speedo and 5" quad gauge, with all sending units, brackets, etc., are $505.00. That's actually not as much as I thought, and not at all out of line with other "highend" aftermarket gauges.

I'll have to knock off a few more 7-11's before I can shell out for them, but I've got lots of other projects to keep me busy on the truck until then

I did this one 18 years ago

Joe67 · 08-22-2002, 01:38 PM

great ideas here.

I've always wanted to get the Chevy bowtie/Autometer gauges for my 67 dash

Slammed67 · 08-22-2002, 01:55 PM

Personally, I think one of the coolest parts of a classic car/truck is the dash area. That's why I'm leaving mine stock. I am however painting my gauge cluster and glove box door non-stock colors, but not modifying the pieces themselves. Don't get me wrong... I can truly appreciate a custom dash, and I can't wait to see XXL's finished product. And I don't like the Impala dash in that truck.... looks out of place to me, as do digital gauges. Just my $0.02.

(I'm not trying to start a controversy, but stating an opinion)

jay-dawg · 08-22-2002, 02:00 PM

I was thinking about when I get bags....which will probably will be in the distant future....to use the guage with the four holes in the bottom and put in the air gauges in them. I'll probably just use my current gauge and drill the holes out. I dont have those stock gauges now so I probably wont need them in the future.

Just a thought in my stream of consciousness.

Tim lets see some pics of your no limit dash.

Stepside · 08-22-2002, 05:42 PM

Here's my No-Limit dash. As you can see, I'm buying a little at a time.

**basketcase** · 08-22-2002, 06:38 PM

Beautiful. How does it attach?

THOR 50 · 08-22-2002, 07:06 PM

I posted this before but here you go...

Gauges run about $500 total, $40 ea for the small one $200 for the speedo $100 for the tach. just need a plate in the back to mount the gauges to behind the dash. then put the bezel on as it came stock so you can use youe head lights wipers and choke if you have it.

THOR 50 · 08-22-2002, 07:28 PM

Also Nosto posted this awhile back looks nice....
instead of a stock radio more gauges for air bag system.

Stepside · 08-22-2002, 08:16 PM

That's a perfect look THOR 50. It fits the sceme of the truck great.
You've got me thinking
