47-53 Truck gauges question?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**youngrodder** · 03-11-2011, 03:16 PM

I have a set of Dakota Digital gauges that I'm installing into my truck.
Anyone know what size nuts are used to secure the gauges to the backside of the dash? They look to have fine threads and I have guessed (3) times and I still don't have the correct ones.

Thank you
Marc

Thanks Greg.

That is one of the sizes that I bought. Part of my problem is there is a fair amount of surface rust on the threads. Maybe after I clean the threads slightly the nuts will go on easier. I just assumed that I had the wrong size.
