Anyone have white gauge faces in their truck?

I am beginning to shop around for new gauges and have been thinking I wanted to go with a white/nickel face gauge in the truck with my black dash. I have been searching for photos online, however haven't found many photos.

So I am hoping you guys could show me some of your setups if you are running white faces.

Thanks.

you didn't say what model but here's my TF gauge cluster with white Autometer gauges. Little fuzzy but you get the idea.

Thanks SpeedBump. They will be going into my '49 Chevy 3100. That white pops on the blue dash with the chrome bezel though!

Gauges are Equus from Schucks Auto. Turn signal and high beam lights are from Radio Shack. Made my own panel out of 1/8 aluminium.

Some nice looking gauge clusters here, but no one with a vacuum gauge in their dash.

Hey, Wolfclub. Is that an LED-illuminated start button?

yes it is. My 5 year old likes to play and help me in my truck so its a second safety measure so she does not step on the starter pedal and turn it over.
