New Quad Gauges

I picked up these gauges and dash insert at the Goodguys show today. Dolphin gauges get mixed reviews but I really like the look of the two gauges versus the five that most suppliers stock and the price was right.

Man I like that. I don't remember seeing the dual gauge setup for our year dash. Looking forward to seeing those in the truck.

Lookin' good

I've been working at keeping the original instrument cluster with updated gauges for my '50 but yours is a nice look. There are definitely challenges with getting them to scale properly.

Looks good, I put the same guages with the tan face in my 37 Buick back in 2011. No issues with them, have worked great.

I wish I would have seen them while I was there on Saturday. I didn't go back on Sunday.

How was there Saturday? It was raining like crazy in Napa so I didn't attempt going. The person selling them (can't remember his name) was in the very center of the swapmeet. He had a huge shop display and big trailer setup with a window that he sat behind and sold stuff out of. He had the gauges but not the dash insert on display. I also bought some nice American made seatbelts from him. Very professional setup but I didn't get a receipt which may haunt me if I have problems with the gauges.
