It's well worth it though, especially with your dash. It will make it look complete.

Re: Any Dash Ideas
'63 cluster before & after paint - spare piece of sheetmetal and autometer gauges. Kept the layout similar to stock, plus the tach. No turn signal indicators, I wired them into the two left and two right gauges so they blink.

Why do you need a 10K tach, even the highest dollar motors only turn 8500 rpm....and thats to produce 850hp on alcohol ?????

I didn't see where anyone mention they 'needed' a 10K tach?? Some guys like the 10K display; others don't. I don't care for a 200mph speedo range when I know I won't come near it. Same for the tach; 8K will do for me & even that's excessive....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Any Dash Ideas
Here is what I am doing in my 1964 GMC
Ordered the Dakota Digital gauges from Travis at Pro Performance yesterday. They are intended for a 1964-67 Pontiac GTO, Lemans, Tempest VHX Instruments P/N VHX-64P-GTO-C-R (Carbon Fiber/Red)
Not much to choose from for A GMC but I think with a rubber mallet and some caulking I can make them fit. They come altogether in one self contained unit with just a CAT5 cable running from the control module to the back of the unit, the module can be mounted up to 6 feet away.
Length: 18-3/4”
Height: 4-3/8”
Depth: 1-1/16”
Gauge opening sizes from Left to right: 3-7/8” / 4” / 4” / 3-7/8”
I plan on having a brushed metal dash panel laser cut to fit the stock outer bezel with opening for the new gauges.
I priced out Classic Instruments, and Autometer to try and fit into the stock opening and the Dakota gauges worked out to be less money and offered more functions.

Cool Re: Any Dash Ideas
I was thinking something along these lines. Price isn't bad and full electronic. Would work out good when I eventually install a 4L80E trans since there is no speedometer drive cable coming out of the trans.

I would like to make these work in my dash. Just a little slice & dice.

Re: Any Dash Ideas
I've acquired a dash out of a 1960 GMC that I plan on putting in my truck. I want to have air conditioning as well. I've searched and came up empty, but do any of you guys have a pic of a factory GMC A/C dash?
