Gauge cluster pics - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Lots of great clusters here but I keep coming back to the one with the button. Been thinking about that start stop button. I think it would be a really good idea to have that button hooked directly to your alarm system.

Thief breaks into your truck and you just know he is going to push that button ... Hmm, whats this? *push* ALARM ALARM ALARM!!!

I think Ive mentioned it before, you could do the same thing with one of those giant EASY buttons. Someone gets in your rig and you have one sitting on the seat, those things are impossible to ignore *push* =)

Those are nice. That's what I'm looking for. How do I get one?

tdp67 · 01-12-2011, 12:56 PM

Here's mine that came with it. I like the guages but not the panel. I want a more stock looking panel with these guages.

nice work! what size gauges would i need to use to do this to mine? specifically the setup with fuel between the speedo and tach?

lowrollin70gmc · 01-14-2011, 06:21 PM

Here's mine made of out the glovebox door and a billet specialties trim thing. I think it flows nicely with my dash and I only spent $70 excluding gauges.

(oh and I should get a pic with the flooring back in it, huh?)

71gmcburb · 01-17-2011, 02:56 AM

bruceman1968 · 01-17-2011, 02:45 PM

The guages in this thread are so nice I feel bad showing you all my rust bucket/work truck, but the guages are in a different spot.

67chevy1series · 01-17-2011, 02:50 PM

bruceman all you need is a 67 68 steering wheel with a nice cst horn cap ,a new bezel and your done!

bruceman1968 · 01-17-2011, 02:53 PM

Rick, I thought that wheel was ready for a show. See how it matches the brake pedal.

67chevy1series · 01-17-2011, 02:56 PM

The ultra lite-II series are my favorite mostly because of the way they look at night.

Doesn't hurt that they are light weight too.

Not cheap but way cool.

Im torn between the Cobalt, C2, Phantom II, Ultra-Lite II, and Sport-Comp II...but im leaning towards the Cobalt or Phantom II

oldblue1968chevy · 01-17-2011, 06:20 PM

None are cheap but some of those are a pretty big investment of cash. The Ultra Lite-II tach I have for my Camaro cost more than I paid for my truck.

I would advise seeing all of them in person and functional including what they look like at night before making that kind of commitment.

Cruise in's and drag races are good places to see them set up and working to make an informed decision.
