Instrument Cluster

I just went through a bunch of threads and pictures of what other have done here for updating their instruments. Ended up ordering a set of Autometer gauges (will do a separate thread with pictures once they come in and I build it).

During my research I saw a bunch of threads looking for a complete aftermarket cluster to buy like is available for so many other vehicles. Well, a buddy just sent me the link below and it looks like Dakota has started to offer just such a thing. I bought their speed sender for my electric speedo at what I thought was a good price so I'll do a little free advertising for them. If I could start over, I'd probably still go with the Autometers so far. $420 vs $795. But figured others might be interested.

that's pretty nice for a drop in replacement but ouch on the price..
If I had that kind of money laying around though it might be tempting.
