I just installed a full set in my custom dash, They are relatively pretty easy, there are directions that come in each of the guages as well as a new oil sending unit and water temp guage. I had installed a Painless wiring which had all the wires marked to where they go, another helpful thing is purchasing the guage wiring setup kit from painless, It allows you to put your dash assembly together outside of the cab and just plug it in when your done with all the wiring. Hope this helps...

They are really easy to mount and wire up, one of the simplest jobs I have done on my truck, you just have to have patience and do a good job running all the wires otherwise you will be pulling the whole thing out again. They come with their own mounting bracket, and everything you need. They come with the necessary hardware too, like oil pressure lines etc. The stock bezel itself needs a little work that is simple to do too with a dremel or equivalent.

The reason the dash bezel looks overwhelming is the 5 air pressure gauges. One for each bag and one for the tank. The switches are two-way momentary switches are for the air ride. Typical 10-switch setup. Later, FCG

Okay Fuel Cel Guy has posted just about what im looking for.
Here's the thing, im having a dash made, but its not out of metal. It starts out as (get this) a paste. My old job is using it for aerospace and a place out her called So Cal Speed Shop is getting some things done. Any way what I need to see is the back of a dash to see how they are mounted. If I need to place set screws on my new dash. The dash can be anodize any color. Once its finished I will attempt to post a picture. Thanks. |

did we ever get information we can share out of this??
I am looking to do this as well, but wanted to see how involved first. Also Anyone know if I can replace one at a time, my speedo is broke and I wanted to replaceit first as I save for the rest.
