Here's a couple of my '62 dash taken during re assembly a couple years back. I went with VDO Cockpit Royale gauges, which I opened up & modified (not an easy thing to do with crimped on bezels I'll tell you :) I repainted the stock pointer colour from black to red, also added the GMC logo on the speedometer & covered over the VDO name with "Murphy's" (my nickname) since I modified them anyway;) I also went with a painted diamond plate as the gauge support panel and repeated that theme making up a filler panel insert for the glove box. Think it turned out pretty cool!
Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you will find tons of cool ideas here!

Here's the '62 before removing tach on the column.

Here are my ugly gauges. I will probably change them someday.

These are my gauges that will go back in once the cab repairs and wiring are complete. They are AutoMeter with No Limit face plate. I plan to fill in the switch holes on the bezel. My new to me tilt column has a key & wiper. I'll hide the light switch under edge of the dash.

This is a fairly poor pic of mine...finger printed & dusty from putting it in & taking it out several times during the wiring process...but it is all that I have on hand!

You do realize that the GMC and Chevy dash clusters are not the same, correct?

Here is a very nice set of gauges that sdwolff98 is installing in his GMC. You'll have to scroll down the page a ways.

thanks for the ideas guys and yes captain fab I do realize that. Now its time to scrounge some money and make this happen. I love this forum so far it gave me the idea for power steering. New crossmember 350/350 setup and other things that are a pain in the ass to make lol.

I was able to keep the original speedo (the only thing that worked on my original instrument cluster). ;) Clear anodized the face to match some left over Autometer gauges I had, and used Adobe Illustrator to recreate the speedo numbers and hash marks in reverse and in the correct arch.

Well if cash is a problem. The Marhshall gauges in my truck were about $350 and made in usa but I can't figure out why the senders were not. I think I smell a snake here.
They also have LED lights. It didn't come with a speedo pulse. That was about $30 extra.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...auges&_sacat=0 They are affortable. They seem to be ok gauges but when you can't spend $500 on them these might do it for you. I really prefer the stock gauges myself but went with aftermarket. I will keep the stock gauges in my other truck.

Re: Lets see your gauges setups
 

As mentioned mine were done on a budget. The speedo is an Autometer that I won on ebay ,the fuel gauge is a 30 ohm Automeeter that got from Summit and the Volt, temp ,and oil pressure gauges are Sunpro triple gauge set purchased at local parts store. All in all I have about 125.00 for my set up.
Mind you this was supposed to be a mock up ,but it has been in use for about 7-8 years .

Re: Lets see your gauges setups
 

I really like your dash looks great!!!!!:chevy:

Re: Lets see your gauges setups
