Re: Any Dash Ideas

Here is what I am doing in my 1964 GMC
Ordered the Dakota Digital gauges from Travis at Pro Performance yesterday. They are intended for a 1964-67 Pontiac GTO, Lemans, Tempest VHX Instruments P/N VHX-64P-GTO-C-R (Carbon Fiber/Red)
Not much to choose from for A GMC but I think with a rubber mallet and some caulking I can make them fit. They come altogether in one self contained unit with just a CAT5 cable running from the control module to the back of the unit, the module can be mounted up to 6 feet away.
Length: 18-3/4”
Height: 4-3/8”
Depth: 1-1/16”
Gauge opening sizes from Left to right: 3-7/8” / 4” / 4” / 3-7/8”
I plan on having a brushed metal dash panel laser cut to fit the stock outer bezel with opening for the new gauges.
I priced out Classic Instruments, and Autometer to try and fit into the stock opening and the Dakota gauges worked out to be less money and offered more functions.
