Re: Any Dash Ideas
My '66 is stock, and in decent shpae, so aside from an old-school tach and aftermarket water, oil, volt gauges, I'll be leaving it alone.
Had I an older hump-dash truck, I'd use something like this '52 Caddy cluster. Not too far from the original, but just a little cleaner... Since I'm keyboard customizing anyway, I'd reshape boh sides of the dash to fit... Last edited by Oregoon; 02-12-2009 at 11:25 PM. |

Re: Any Dash Ideas

Does anybody know if you buy a black or white lettered face plate for the 64-66 or are they custom made? This is an example of the white and I've also seen them in black. |

Re: Any Dash Ideas
come on you guys, I've already seen your dashes and they're awsome, but I'm hoping for an answer to my question.

Re: Any Dash Ideas
I haven't seen anyone post one like mine so I thought I'd throw it in the mix.

Re: Any Dash Ideas
What kind of speedo is that? I like your set up. I had never planned to change from stock, but yours has me thinking....

Re: Any Dash Ideas
I thought about doing the bomber style mounting rings, for the simple convenience of removing and installing all the gauges from the front, more than for cosmetics. If I had come up with the idea before the last redesign of the dash, I might have gone for it. I was going to have my machinist son whip up the rings for free and install them over conventional black rim gauges. But I like the current configuration so much the way it is, at this point I don’t think more changes would be an improvement.

Re: Any Dash Ideas
Any one have a pic of a 64 cluster with a tach and temop gauge added. I just have the stock gauges with dummy lights, and I want to run a half moon tach and a temp gauge once I get my v8 swap done. But I want to look as close to stock as possible.

Re: Any Dash Ideas
It is just an original lens that has faded a little over the years. I polished it all up and it turned out great, so I didnt replace it.
