Gauge pics

Im wanting to install Dolphin gauges that look stock in my truck.
Thats the easy part.
I also have 3 gauge cluster mounted bottom center dash.
Tach on floor.

I want trans temp, fuel pressure, air/fuel, oil temp,
Also keep engine and oil pressure even though stock cluster will have these two.

Do you all have any pics of your aftermarket gauges?
Do you all know of cluster that holds 6 gauges? Do i need to make one?
Are all these gauges over kill? Cruiser truck. I just like to be able to monitor.

I attempted to add attachment pic but pic would not upload.
Ill try again later when im on laptop instead of phone.

Re: Gauge pics

I thought about the Dolphin gauges until I read reviews on this forum and other sites. Decided. Iwill likely go with New Vintage. Twice as much money but better reviews

The reviews of Dolphin gauges aren't complimentary, Check out the gauges from Auto Meter. I love em for my 56.

Re: Gauge pics

I used Dolphin gauges in a 48 that I built a few years ago. I won't be using them for my 52 build. The speedometer setup never worked correctly, but I did end up getting it to read close to the correct speed. The back lighting was also different between the two gauges. One was much brighter than the other.
