Aftermarket/stock gauge sizes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rin68 · 01-27-2004, 03:22 PM

Anyone know off hand what the stock gauge hole sizes are? (speedo/fuel, tach, gauges along the bottom)

I'm looking at some aftermarket gauges for the 68 and want to get an idea of proportions and I am far far away from the truck.

Really leaning toward those new stewart warner maximum performance, silver face. They've got a "new" look that's a bit different than all the autometers.

Also, if anyone has a crappy old gauge bezel I'd be interested in buying it. I'll be heading to the junkyard this weekend but might not be able to find one.

Has anyone used those aluminum bezels that are on the market? I'm looking at designing/machining my own but if the ones out there are good, i might just take the easy route.

If I remember correctly, the speedo and fuel are 5", the center (tach area) is 3 3/8", and the 4 small ones are 2 1/8". Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

are 3 3/4" for center (Tach position), large (Speedo and Fuel) are 5" and lower 4 are 2 5/8".

how about a head on look. I was just thinking about redoing the gauges with the more up to date indiglo's. but I think i will most likely put them in a custom center console just to keep her mostly stock looking.

I have one here I'll ship to you for 5 bucks. has a couple small cracks, but it'll do fine for figuring out what you are going to do. PM me if interested. (This is just the bezel...no backing plate nor lenses or anything) You can get new ones for 20 bucks though.
