Guages
I don't know if I'm ok doing this are not but can someone please tell me where to buy the black factory guage decals. I have been checking websites and PMing people on here and so far one answer.
Thank you I'm waiting on a reply form GMC Paul and Wes. I need to redo my factory Tach, speed warning cluster. The guages are all bad they work fine just don't look good. I tried hand painting them and well will leave it at that for now. I need the black ones the white ones want look right for me.

Re: Guages
I'll have to look to see if I can find any contact details, but there was a company on ebay selling white face gauges (dont zone out yet, humor me). he sells the gauge faces and new number decals for the glass piece as well. he told me he can do the white faces inverted so it'd be more oem style then white face style. he also said he would do the glass numbers in white instead of black as well. I wanna say it was whitefacegauges.com or something like that, I'll see if I can find out more

Re: Guages
I sent a message to the one on E-bay that I found and they replied back it was $30.00 for the white decals and add $50.00 more for the black. That's $80.00, just to high of price to pay without looking first.I was hoping some one here had them.
Is this them.

Re: Guages
Or you can just send them off and get them redone the right way. Here is a link for a company that repaints them.

I'll give them a call about pricing. My way was definitely the wrong way though for sure!

Re: Guages
Don't take my comment the wrong way. I am just OCD on details, and my truck isn't perfect but I am working to what I think will be. If I know it's a sticker, I feel that its wrong. They look good either way. But if I am going for OEM look, I am sending it off to get restored. Might just cost me a few extra dollars, but when it's done and installed I will know it was done right and put my mind at ease.
A few of the members on here that build and sell gauge clusters on here are using this company. They have a pretty good reputation from what I have found so far.

Re: Guages
No offense taken.
My truck is not orignal by no means. But I do want this guage cluster done. It's a orignal factory cluster no new stuff except lens. I added a clock to it. I bought the tach dash out of a truck in a yard then found the speed warning out of another truck and built this cluster over 20 years ago. It's looking as though I may end up going this route. I will call them next week and get pricing. Wes returned my PM and said he knew of the E-bay guy only. Just can't see that though.
