Re: Gauges

concur with sickty6, i think the picture above is a custom one-off deal, they must've paid to get black numbers over white background or something - that actually requires mod to the speedo mph plate. I don't believe it's the same thing as the white gauges link above. But, that link is another way to skin the cat, and pretty darn inexpensive too.

Re: Gauges

Here is another one I found (slightly different) but I still don't know if they are available.
Also a picture of gauges with the white inserts.

Re: Gauges

Does someone make a black number glass for our trucks? Or at least a kit? That looks awesome with the leather top.

Re: Gauges

I have my tach mounted, but I can't decide if I want to cut the hole for the clock, or squeeze one in the half circle.

Re: Gauges

I'm still trying to find a clock that's the right size. My plan is to cut it to a full circle or have somebody much more talented do it for me.

Re: Gauges

I've been looking at WAY too many clocks, but there are quite a few options.

From a Jag.

But I think it's too small.

Re: Gauges

Those are some really cool dashes. So much better than the plain GMC style. I really like the first pic and the one with the padded dash.

Re: Gauges

So he forgot to include the tach face, but he will send it this week. I still need to find a clock.

Re: Gauges

I have a few options for OE clocks, just need to snipe one off ebay if I can't find one local and my tach will be done Thursday. I hope to have everything done and installed in my freshly painted dash.
