Re: Lets see your gauges setups
I was able to keep the original speedo (the only thing that worked on my original instrument cluster).
Clear anodized the face to match some left over Autometer gauges I had, and used Adobe Illustrator to recreate the speedo numbers and hash marks in reverse and in the correct arch.

Re: Lets see your gauges setups
Astronaut, really like that clean look. What all is involved in re-numbering/recalibrating the speedo?

 He uses a stock block off plate for the face of the tach, and uses his own internals and overlay for the graphics. I wetsanded and buffed the lettering off a reproduction lens and he screen printed new numbers on the lens. He can do 6,7,8k tachs as well if you don't want or need a 10k tach. The speedometer may end up being driven by an Abbot cable-x box or Dakota Digital's newer version. That will take car of the speedometer calibration. Jason handles the tach calibration.

Re: Lets see your gauges setups
Here's a couple of my '62 dash taken during re assembly a couple years back. I went with VDO Cockpit Royale gauges, which I opened up & modified (not an easy thing to do with crimped on bezels I'll tell you
 I repainted the stock pointer colour from black to red, also added the GMC logo on the speedometer & covered over the VDO name with "Murphy's" (my nickname) since I modified them anyway I also went with a painted diamond plate as the gauge support panel and repeated that theme making up a filler panel insert for the glove box. Think it turned out pretty cool!Welcome to the forum, I'm sure you will find tons of cool ideas here! |

Re: Lets see your gauges setups
Here are my ugly gauges. I will probably change them someday.

Re: Lets see your gauges setups
These are my gauges that will go back in once the cab repairs and wiring are complete. They are AutoMeter with No Limit face plate. I plan to fill in the switch holes on the bezel. My new to me tilt column has a key & wiper. I'll hide the light switch under edge of the dash.

Re: Lets see your gauges setups
This is a fairly poor pic of mine...finger printed & dusty from putting it in & taking it out several times during the wiring process...but it is all that I have on hand!

Re: Lets see your gauges setups
You do realize that the GMC and Chevy dash clusters are not the same, correct?
Here is a very nice set of gauges that sdwolff98 is installing in his GMC. You'll have to scroll down the page a ways. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...438342&page=11
