Show me your custom guages... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Including any new layouts for the guages themselves. I am going to eliminate the stock guages in both trucks and would like to see what you guys have done with yours.

Here's mine in my 68'

c10addict · 04-08-2008, 08:38 PM

Here is the one filled with Autometers in my 68 and the dash I made for my 67 with a 57 truck cluster..

Classic69 · 04-08-2008, 09:27 PM

How do you guys like your Autometer Ultra-Lite guages? Do they light up bright enough at night with the "around the dial" lighting? I'm trying to decide which line of Autometers to buy for my '69. I'm kinda leaning towards Cobalt, C2, or Phantom II right now.

**Yukon Jack** · 04-08-2008, 11:34 PM

I sure do like the Phantoms I am using in my 69 K20.

blukangoo · 04-09-2008, 12:46 AM

I put Kilometers on mine.

Thanks for the help Mats!

jugernot · 04-09-2008, 01:41 AM

This is the one that Putter (another board member) put together for me.

b&a72 · 04-09-2008, 01:46 AM

Is there a FAQ on how to put the Autometer gauges in a stock gauge cluster?

Madmandav · 04-09-2008, 01:54 AM

Dakota Digital, still in plastic.

I can't take credit for any of this as I saved them from another thread. I also can't recall what board memeber did these but I am thinking of using this idea.

bigsnookmaster I like your guages. Where did you get the bezel?

bigsnookmaster · 04-09-2008, 10:28 PM

Chevy Fan24, I got them from a J&J Engineering.You can google them or 67-72 chevy truck billet instrument panel.There # is 909-585-2252,his name is Javier, and he's a good guy.I like the way the guages fit and I have kind of a race concept for the 68 Im building,so it works well for me.

67chevemall · 04-09-2008, 11:36 PM
