55/59 Gauge Panel

Has anyone found a brand of After-market Gauges that will fit Original GMC Panel Bezels?

I have their tach force gauge setup for my 59 chev 3100. Very nice setup
and made in the USA. I've talked to them on the phone. they were very
good at answering all of my questions.

Whats the price range for this "Tach Force Set up"

Looks like a nice set up. How noticable or how eazy to read Tach. Does steering wheel limit sight to these gauges. What is your Hight. Do you got tilt wheel.
I like my Gauges high tech and accurate but also old school look.

Thanks Gary

Re: 55/59 Gauge Panel

Yes it has a tilt wheel so I see it fine. It is a small readout so not
somthing to use for racing but it tells what I need to know. It is electronic and comes with the speedometer sender that goes where
the chev cable hooks up and with the heat and oil senders inc. Later
transmissions with electronic senders will calbarate with the gauges.
I got mine on a sale deal but was still in the $700 range.It comes
in 4 differant colors. I got the white with black numbers.Google tach
force clasic instruments. I like the orig. look and if mine was black
background you would have to look close to notice it isn't a stock setup.

I will dieffently go with a tilt because I cant stand not being able to just glance down and see what going on under that hood/ was just real currious about that TACH , I'm a sucker for a built in Tach look!! I know that it wasn't OEM or was it??
