My 68 glovebox dash - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SWINGSAX68 · 04-06-2011, 01:08 PM

My front NEW fender that got smashed into on Sunday. Pics of my Glove box dash.
The Tach and Electronic Speedo are VDO $200 for the pair. The other gauges are from Oreilly's and are Equus. $70 for the set. Not bad little gauges....I mean the company makes medical instruments so they are probably of decent quality. The wiring I was told by my co worker looked like a bomb

The speedo is hooked to my 350 tranny with a Pulse Generator from Dolphin Gauges that I picked up at a hotrod shop. Pretty easy to install, though I had to fab a bracket to keep it from wiggling from the tranny speedo connection.
Hmmmm....my camera must have been smudged....sorry for the quality on some of em.
Thanks Guys!!!

oh yeah!!! I installed an after market Column which I may need to redo the shaft on to make the coupler fit farther down on the splined shaft off the Gear Box. And I fabbed up AC vent for my Alpine tweeters
