new white face guages - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68on22s · 07-13-2004, 09:01 PM

I know a lot of people have put new guages on thier factory bezel without cutting it up. I dont want the ring around the guages to be outside of the bezel but recesed back behind it with the glass peice or fiberglass peice like factory. does anyone sell a kit to do this or what guages should I buy and how do I do it. Any ideas will be appreciated.

Since my truck came from the factory white, I too wanted white face guages. One of the board members here makes decals to go over factory guages. He made all the lines on them with his computer and even buffed off the green numbers on my glass and put on black ones. I mailed him a brand new cluster with a vac guage. He did an amwsome job and only charged me a little over a hundred bucks. I'm very happy and get lots of compliments on it. I'll try and find his user name if you are interested. He is in AZ somewhere. I also put blue led's in my dash and at night its a nice neon blue. Use Jamstraight 194's, all the rest are junk.

Here is a company I found on the internet. One of the board members has tried them and likes them.

MACKL, FWIW... search this board for discussion about durangedesign and his products before ordering. At one point, the product quality wasn't very good... don't know if he's improved them or not since. He also came on the board a few times and didn't handle the product feedback very well. Also "another user" was doing a lot of 'thumbs up' posts in favor of durangedesign, but a little research found that those posts were coming from the same IP address as durangedesign.

The board member is ILUVJUNK and he did some gauges for me. Quality work and reasonably priced. I can't find my pics of the finished product

Thanks!

sigurd · 07-14-2004, 10:49 AM

ILOVJUNK is correct, he did an awesome job.

I believe chevychic was in the process of doing the white faces. I would give her a try. JMO

Yeah ChevyChick does them. She just made a set for her DD and was showing it off on the 73-87 board.
