No, I have not worked on that. As far as I have seen the aftermarket gauges mount from the front. Also right now I do not have any time to work on that. I would need a set of gauges also to know how to mount them.

Is there a way to recess them more??

Ryan Hubbard · 11-20-2008, 12:48 AM

I would have to change my tooling and buy thicker billets to make the gauges more recessed. I just went with gauges that did not have the thick rims like the auto meters have. I went with VDO gauges. I am also getting some custom gauges made to sell with the panels. These gauges are only 1 inch in depth all electronic units.

Any way to get some matching air pressure gauges for the bagged guys. Trying to keep the interior as clean as possible.

Since you can park an 18-wheeler behind the dash, what's the value-add of having shallow gauges?

NWD02 · 08-12-2008, 11:21 PM

Awesome! Nice job with the panel and glove box door. What's the price on a set?

Ryan Hubbard · 08-13-2008, 01:17 AM

I have updated the first post and other posts in here to reflect current pricing. I sell the dash panel for $275.00 and the Glove Box Door for $175.00. This includes UPS ground shipping. You can either contact me at ryan.hubbard@aspencontrols.com or call me at 562-595-7545.

mahanian · 08-13-2008, 01:25 AM

Hey Ryan,
I sent you payment about an hour ago, thanks again for a great product!

Deuce · 01-19-2009, 12:17 AM

Subscribing...........and I sent you a e-mail.

IvelDesigns · 01-25-2009, 04:36 PM

these look bad ass. I'm also with the group looking for a way to get air bag/tank gauges on there too.

If someone were to find a set of gauges, and gave you the dimensions, what kind of time/cost would you be looking at to move holes around and/or add new ones?

weircc · 02-28-2009, 11:28 PM

so what the status of these can i still get one or what?

ME TOO! I just found this thread, you are building exactly what I have been wanting (2x5in with 5x2-1/16in).

Ryan Hubbard · 03-15-2009, 08:58 PM

Yes I am still making the dash panels. Currently I just sold my last one that has two 5" holes with five 2 1/16" holes to weircc but I can do another run. It will take me a couple weeks because I do this on the side and my machines are booked right now. But I still have them available and I have a couple different setups now.

Chevy_Man · 03-15-2009, 10:31 PM

What are your different set ups?

Eric

Ryan Hubbard · 03-16-2009, 02:52 AM

My original set up was for VDO gauges which were two 3 3/16" holes and five 2 1/16" which is what is installed in my truck. I also made the dash with the two 5" holes and five 2 1/16 holes and I made the dash with two 5" holes and one 3 3/16" hole in the center and four 2 1/16" holes. I also have billet glove box doors to match the panel.

weircc · 03-18-2009, 03:16 PM

got mine in today this is super super nice thanks highly recommend guys if you wanna set your truck from the rest.

Deuce · 04-04-2009, 09:45 AM

Can you do one with ONLY (2) 5 1/4" holes..........nothing else.

shawn57nomad · 04-05-2009, 03:54 PM

Whoa! I gotta have one of these.....

Ryan Hubbard · 04-13-2009, 11:56 PM

Deuce,

I can do one with two big holes for just two gauges.

ctrow · 04-21-2009, 06:10 PM

All,

I have the (2) 5" and (4) 2 1/8" version. I've had a difficult time finding guages in the 5" size that I liked.

I found that Classic Instruments makes them in some of their product lines. If anyone is looking for an alternative to the Autometers I'd recommend checking them out.

I'm on a budget like everyone else so I have not bought them yet. Just know that's what I'll be getting. I'm going with the gray/silver style. Not sure if I'm polishing/leaving brushed/or combination yet on the gauge cluster and glove box door. When I finish it some day I'll post pics.

woodwright · 04-21-2009, 10:48 PM

I would like to have one with no holes. Would that be more expensive?

Can you relist the website these are on for the guys just finding this thread? I think it was back a few pages.

Here is what I'm looking for Ryan.

I have moved the 2 holes (5 1/4") in towards the middle and down, so I could see them better with the steering wheel tilted down.

Soo we are straight.................I would like a bezel with these 2 holes at 5 1/4" diameter and the mounting holes to mount the bezel to the trucks dash. NO headlight or washer/wiper provisions.Mounting these under the dash.

Can you do it?? Can you make the holes in the same location (more or less) as the pics???

If you can do it I will ask classicchev to paypal you the money when you are ready.

Thanks.

basemodel67 · 05-06-2009, 12:15 PM

Hey - Do you make these for 67-68? Also, could you make hole for starter button?
