new gauges...pics please

[superman3405]

I am thinking of taking the factory gauges out of the 72 and replacing with updated newer gauges. Have any of you done this...if so do you have any pics I can see before I make my mind up? Thanks Don

I'm getting ready to go Fuel Injected and these are what I will be going with.

I like that, as far as installation was it hard? The middle gauge what all is on that??

[killer71]

They will be all electric haven't got em in yet;

There is quite a few folks doing these. Depends on your taste in gauges. Good luck with the project.

That is the same setup I am going with in the Cheyenne Killer. For some odd reason my truck was only optioned with the idiot lights.

jackyl9999 - is that a dimmer switch on top of the clock? Did you get those pre- made or did you order those separately? It looks really nice.

[jackyl9999]

That is my high beam indicator above the clock. I bought the gauges, a new new bezel, got 1 piece of lexan, and a aluminum plate to mount the clock in. It was quite a project. btw the turn signal and high beam ind. are painless lights. Thanks !

Killer71,

Did you have to mix and match those autometer gauges? I was under the impression that the quad gauge only came in a kit of sorts. I've been wanting to do the same set up with black face gauges. Not trying to hijack anything here post wise, just curious.

There are 2 or 3 3 3/8 Phantom oil pressure guages on evil bay was I type.

Here's my set up Covan's panel with Autometer Ultralites. A bit $$$ but I like them, way more accurate than the factory gages !!

I'm curious where you found these? I am only seeing them sold as a kit, tach with quad or MPH with quad were you able to buy them as seperate gauges? Also are the sizes you used 5" for the tach and MPH and 3 3/8 for the quad?

Thanks,

Here are the AutoMeter Phantom guages I am using (I later swapped the tack and speedo to the opposite positions).

3-3/8" quad guage Autometer part # 1312 (or #1612 or there are others)

5" Tach Autometer part # 1399

5" Speedo (elec, programmable) Autometer part # 1389

He's doing a GenIII swap also, I think gringoloco is too (?), so we can get away w/electric speedos.

I need to screw around some more and find something fitting for me. I'll miss the old blinkers unless I can find someway to mount them somewhere.

If you want to buy these parts separately, go to jegs.com or summitracing.com and type in the four-digit number of the Autometer part, and you'll find it there.
