Gauges in C10?
I would like to add a set of gauges to my C10{has warning lights}.Rather than a bracket with the gauges installed on the bottom of the dash has anyone put them below the speedometer/fuel gauge in the dash cluster where the gauges would be on a Cheyene?These would be aftermarket 2 1/16 gauges.Thanks.

Re: Gauges in C10?
I tried to do that with the bezel I had originally (no gauge holes) but I cracked it and it didn't look all that great. I ended up buying a bezel that had holes in it and adding gauges. It wasn't all the hard to do. Here is a picture of it. Lots of guys on here have done the same but theirs turned out a heck of a lot better than mine.

Re: Gauges in C10?
Thanks Dave.Do holes have to be cut in the dash for the extra gauges or is there a big opening under the panel?I have not removed my panel to look.Thanks.

Re: Gauges in C10?
You will have to cut a hole in the tin that sits behind the bezel. I actually pulled my cluster last earlier this afternoon and I will see if I can get some pictures of it for you. Once you get it apart it will be pretty apparent what is required. I've always wanted to put the 5" speedo and tach in my bezel but never had the funds to do so. Post some pics when you get it done and let us know how it turns out.

Re: Gauges in C10?
I am looking for the tach and bezel glass with the tach numbers on it as well, one that isn't gong to cost an arm and a leg...Good luck!!
