gauge cluster ideas?
 

So I've got a plumber strapped on tachometer, an old battery gauge that doesn't work, an aftermarket voltmeter that does work bolted to the bottom of the dash and a flakey fuel gauge... I'm considering a total gauge replacement and have been considering going digital. I'm not doing a restoration on the truck because there's enough aftermarket junk on it that it'd be too hard to go back to true factory form and I wouldn't resto it unless I could accomplish that.

I'm looking for some ideas, pictures, suggestions of gauge makers, etc.

I'm debating getting a new glovebox door and cutting it to make a custom cluster. I'm going with red lighting on my stero and the truck is orange so I figure I'll keep that theme of orange, black, and red. I've looked at some of the autometer stuff, I dig the combo gauges where you get a lot of stuff in one little gauge and am considering doing two 'gauges' that have all of my info in them.

post up your pics, etc. I'd love to see what others have done. Also if people have any links ot vendors that have good deals on quality gauges I'd love to see those as well :)

do a search on this site's tool bar above ... type in gauge ... those are the best ones I have seen yet, stock ones, stock plus, custom, digital, painted, chrome ... you name these guys have done it or tried it.

I did mine in wood for the 71.

The Blazer is just a chrome bezel.

Here are a few links that incorporate some autometer gauges. It's the sort of setup I plan on going with.

Hope it helps,
