White face cluster finished

Well here it is, all done for your honest opinion. All faces have been painted. The graphics are machine cut and layed out by hand. The lens has numbers and letters applied to the back just the way GM did it. The tachometer is a new white face autoguage 8,000 rpm tach. It can be set for 6 cylinder as well as 8 and it is self lighted. The black and chrome besel is new. The circuit tape on the back is new too. It is actually the tape for a tach dash to allow room for the tach. The speedometer is set to 1 mile, only because I tested it in my truck.

This is no cheapy white face layover crap. It is actually painted white and the graphics and numbers are nonfading and practically indestructable. If you want a close to original white faced or any other color instrument panel for your truck, email me.

esruf@yahoo.com

Prices will very depending on what you want. This dash in particular is most likely going on ebay.

It looks as though you have put a lot of work into it. It's Too white for my taste, But that's just me.
Is the "60" off or is that just me also.

That does look pretty dang awsome.
One thing though..the smpare hole looks...way too empty. Maybe some black lines on the lens...
I think this is one of the best looking conversions I've seen to date.

Ya some of the numbers do look a little off, but it is the angle of the picture. when it is in the truck and you look down at it, everything lines up.

Looks great!! Just a suggestion- What would it look like with a complete chrome finished bezel? You know the totally Silver bezels? I think a white-faced clock would round out the whole thing perfectly......... Great work..............JB

I can do a clock, and I can do a chrome bezel too. It all has to do with how much you want to spend. For instance, it would add about a hundred bucks for a new clock and installation. The bezel however I can do easy because they all cost me the same.

Thumbs up

You did a nice job!. Silver gauges would soften it up a little against the black bezel. I would love to see this with red or orange needles to break it up a bit. Nice work though.

I, too, think a chrome or silver bezel would look better. The stark black / white schema is a little too much. But I like the white guages - great work!

Any chance you'll ever give us an idea of price? I know the question has been asked a number of times.

This cluster is for sale on ebay right now. It starts at 350 dollars. Im going to ask 400 to 450 for these clusters. I can do any color combo you want. I will do either bezel for you too. If you wnat just the speedo and the gas guage done I will do yours and turn back your speedo for 35 bucks a guage, you ship.

How does all that sound to ya guys?
