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.

I was thinking something along these lines. Price isn't bad and full electronic. Would work out good when I eventually install a 4L80E trans since there is no speedometer drive cable coming out of the trans.

64shortbox thats where I ordered my set up yrs ago (dolphin guages)and I have no complaints at all!! Make sure you ask for the directions on the modification you will need to do on your fuel sender and float in your tank....

I've acquired a dash out of a 1960 GMC that I plan on putting in my truck. I want to have air conditioning as well. I've searched and came up empty, but do any of you guys have a pic of a factory GMC A/C dash?
