it was the bling-king. AKA Ivan. Can't remember when he did it though. Looked nice, but a lot of work.

IF you want some good gauges, then autometer would be a good way to go.

The 3 I have a the cheapo gauges.... they work, but nothing special.
The tach I have is a cheap eqeuis (sp?), got one in both my trucks, and really like them.


Not trying to talk you out of anything, but I've seen people modify the stock gauge cluster and cut holes in place of the stock gauge and put a mechanical one in it's place. Not the fanciest thing, but it'd be less work, and it looks decent.

If you search "gauges" or "guage panel" in the 73-79 forum, there is some pretty good ideas there.

Looks like an early 70s Chevy.

Maybe look for a nice piece of stainless....
Using an old truck box is a perfect idea for this type of thing
