New vintage style gauge - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Am I the only one who wishes Dakota digital made a new age gauge cluster but had the traditional style speedo and layout? That way it looked a bit more factory but had the modern technology.

Nope, you're not the only one at all. I emailed them after seeing their gauges in my buddy's 68 F100 and noticing how factory they looked. They responded with:

Good day Scott,
Thanks for the message and interest in our products!
While there isn’t currently an option for a horizontal speedometer, anything is possible in the future as we’re quickly developing not only new vehicle application kits, but new product lines for those same vehicles.
Thanks again!

I want their gauges but I don't want to look at my old 2002 Silverado gauges when I'm in my 66.

Hopefully someday they'll have a more factory look on the 64-66 trucks.

Nope! I am right there with you! I would have definitely added them along with my LS swap for sure if they were more factory looking. Ive never really seen any that i like.

I have asked a couple times if they were going to make one but they seem to have no interest in it. Or maybe they think not a lot of people would actually want them
