redoing dash
I have seen the billit dashes with autometer guages. They are ok but I like the stock look with autometer guages in it. I have read the FAQ and it looks pretty straight forward. Mine is a daly driver with idiot lights so I need new dash parts to work on as it will take me some time to do this and I can not use the ones in truck now.
So my question is what parts do I need? I know I need a new bezel with all the guage holes I see them for about 50.00 bucks I dont need the lenses right? But looks like I need the metal back part of dash does anyone sell them?

Re: redoing dash
Ever thought of just redoing the stock 7 gauge layout? I was trying to do something a little different than the mass of people that either do the autometer/billet bezel or the white face gauges...Not that there is anything wrong with either of those looks, I like them both, I just wanted to do something a little different.
Here are some shots of what I decided to go with: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=210521 Mike |

Re: redoing dash

Re: redoing dash

Re: redoing dash
 YEP... I LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING NEW GAUGES KEEP TRACK OF MY NEW ENGINES VITALS, AS COMPARED TO RELYING ON 35 YEAR OLD GAUGES. I'M SURE ALOT OF PEOPLE WILL DISAGREE BUT I THINK THE CEAPEST SET OF $19 GAUGES IS MORE ACURITE THAN THE 35-39 YEAR OLD STOCK ONES.  JOHN
