O.K. Boys let's see the gauges

[killer71]

I'm in the process of swapping to the Gen III 5.3L and will be going all electric. Give me some ideas on the conversion as it's hard to make my mind up trying to pickem out of a catalog---Killer!

[jsbgump]

I'm debating on doing the same swap and I think I would run the dakota digital gauges

[killer71]

I like the dakotas but I want something with a little more character/identity!

Not real good pics, but I think they're called Autometer classic chrome. Electric senders, but a more original look.

I have the Covan & Autometer set-up and they work great ( way more accurate than the stock gages )

Hey backyard let's see your steering wheel out of curiousity!

[mvfd70]

Where did that steering wheel come from?

[Yukon Jack]

I'm using the Autometer Phantom gauges in my truck. Here is a pic when I was test fitting the gauges



I initially had the mechanical speedo shown in this pic but I am swapping it out for the electric speedo. The only other mechanical guage is the oil pressure gauge. I'm very pleased with these gauges.

YJ--like the idea of the clock! Do they make a 3 3/8 in a fuel gauge?

[Yukon Jack]

Thanks, had to have something for that location and the clock worked for me. Sure is loud when the truck is off but kind of cool to hear the clock ticking. I don't think anything other than the oil pressure gauge was available for that 3 3/8" spot.

[killer71]

Thanks for the info YJ...good lookin set up!

[BACKYARD88]

It's a Grant. I think it's Mahogany. Kinda dirty right now.

yes...but there not very common.

[Hart_Rod]

Here's a picture of mine. It's got a 3 3/8 fuel gauge. DJRacer hooked me up with it (still brand new in the box, ) Putter did all the work, I supplied the $$$, .

[Mudder]

I was going to do mine behind the bezel but decided against it because of the double ring when done like that. So mine ended up like this. I have a 3 3/8 oil pressure gauge that is pro comp that is waiting to be used at an later date.

That looks very familiar.....!!!!

[killer71]

Hart Rod and Mudder; I would do you guys set up but I just can't find the 3 3/8 fuel gauge so I'm leaning towards Mike Nutts set up what do yall think?

[Mudder]

I think this would look great in the center hole. I believe it is the right size.

[killer71]

Hmmm! Who makes that clock gauge mudder?

[Hart_Rod]

I'm thinking about doing a 3 hole gauge setup like Gringloco did for my CrewCab. I swapped them around a little though.

[Mudder]

I can't find them there anyomre but they have changed teir site a bunch. here is the link if you wanna look for them.

Hart Rod now those are sweet. 68ss and I have discussed going with that set up! What did it set you back and can those still be purchased?

[killer71]

So what do you guys think of these?

[sleepyboy]

I went Dakota digital in blue with billit inserts on guage cluster and glove box..I like it alot.
