LS Gauges
Has anyone used these?
http://newvintageusa.com/67-72truck.html I like the look, but wonder if the function is equivalent to the Dakota Digital VHX gauges.

Re: LS Gauges
Based on this video (and others available on their site) I'd say they work nicely!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCDUt0bnVnA As compared to the Speartech guages (that offer the nice 6L80 gear indicator) which in MHO are terrible (note how choppy their movement is). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gaE6syO854 Last edited by Pythonater; 05-11-2014 at 11:15 AM. Reason: links |

Re: LS Gauges
These are comparable to Classic Instruments in cost. I installed classic instruments 2 year back and are happy with them. These are nice but you still need to put it all together

Re: LS Gauges
Ebay seems to be the cheapest source for an authorized dealer at $750. I plan on going with their stock-ish setup when funds allow. Still not my dream of a perfectly stock electronic setup, but its by far the closest I've found.

Re: LS Gauges
If these are good I will be going this route when I go to put my motor in. Definitely closest to original I've seen and at $750, not too badly priced.
