Gauge pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone have any close up shots of Autometer gauges mounted from the outside of the bezel? I guess you would probably call it top mounted. Not like Swervin's, I would call his bottom mounted. Even though his gauges are bad a$$, I don't think I enough patients to do mine like that.

Thanks Scott, but I really need something a little closer.

PHOENIX · 06-19-2003, 04:33 PM

Scott has pictures of mine on that link and if you click them they will get a little larger. Let me know what you are looking for as far as details or something and I can post some pictures or email them to you depending on the picture size.

Yeah Eddie, I want to install mine the way your's are. I already have the fuel gauge in, but wanted to see how it compares with some others. IF you could email a couple of pics to devall@cox.net I would really appreciate it.

Eddie,
Did you use the stock bezel, or did you just put in a piece of plastic and cut it?

PHOENIX · 06-21-2003, 01:43 PM

stock bezel

81chevystep · 06-22-2003, 08:54 PM

is this what you are talking about

gldevall · 06-22-2003, 09:26 PM

Yeah that's it. Where did you get the billet from? Thanks.

81chevystep · 06-22-2003, 11:33 PM

i got it from trenz but i orderd it through a local custom shope it cost about $100 but you have to make the holes bigger to fit the guages in them.

PHOENIX · 06-23-2003, 10:36 AM

They have polished and brushed finish.
Make sure you get the one you want.
Everyone sells the brushed, but I guess the polished are harder to find. Contact Swervin for info on the polished one.

82 'ject · 07-03-2003, 11:33 PM

Phoenix, it appears that your gauges point directly forward as opposed to upward towards the driver. If this is accurate does it affect how well you can see the gauges?

82 'ject · 07-03-2003, 11:35 PM

Sorry my previous post was for 82 chevystep

81chevystep · 07-04-2003, 12:51 PM

they do point straight forward and i can see all of the guages fine. hope that helps.

Jonboy · 07-04-2003, 01:11 PM

are those 2 5/8 gauges or 2 1/16 for the small? I am guessing the larger ones are 5"?

bigblock73 · 07-04-2003, 01:16 PM

they are 2 5/8" I believe.

bigd65 · 07-05-2003, 11:27 AM
