Re: gauge question/supplier

My Garmin GPS has a built in speedo, pretty cool except for the max speed attained feature which upsets my wife...

Boese Engineering. Expensive, but they have some really nice gauges. Very happy with my billet dash and Autometer gauges I got from them for my '58 GMC.

Re: gauge question/supplier

I have speedhut and have not installed them as of yet....but they look great.
I installed a GPS set of Dakota Digital in a buddies. They look great but were a real PIA to wire and set up.
Either way you are going to spend some money. You are looking at about $700 for GPS with tach built in as well as high beam and turn signals.

Speedhut allows you to design your own ...even upload a pic for the backdrop

Re: gauge question/supplier

Thanks everyone for the great advice-had originally looked at speed hut-but they don't do the gps any larger than 4" -couple of places suggested here look promising though! Thanks a lot
