7 gauges.

2 1/16" -fuel, volts, temp, and oil pressure in between.
I added the "MERCURY" logo to just the speedo.

The pictures show the day/night image, and my cluster that they will be going into.



Very nice and a great choice. I'm about to order from Speed Hut as well; I just can't decide what colors yet.

You're right about having a hard time choosing! They have almost any colour combination you could imagine. I must admit, I had a lot of fun building different gauge sets just to see what they'd look like.

Those are gonna be cool. I am very happy with mine. What are you going to do with your bezel?

When, I bought my gauges the white face 4" by VDO speedometers was the only electronic of that size being sold by them. I could find at that time all the rest were 3.3/8" that was to small for my liking.

Now days all kinds of 4'' electronic ones in many different colors to choose from.

It was about 8-9 yrs ago when I did mine, no GPS speedometers listed then.

The custom Gauge market as really moved fast in the past few yrs with some great ez install setups for all of us to enjoy when one is tired of looking at the old bumps bouncy speedometers with faded plastic lens covers as your going down the interstate.

Plus after market gauge clusters for the bumps makes it easy for the guy who is limited crafting up is own insert. No real drilling gauge holes as it's almost as easy as plug & play for the newer look..

I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning towards the original look. Painted silver around the outside, and a painted black face. Lots of time to worry about that!

Received my cluster Friday. It is the f600 setup out of a 73. One dummy plate and a vacuum gauge with the regular fuel/alt/oil/temp/Speedo cluster. Not in terrible shape. Would like to find a tach to replace the vacuum gauge. But I am always from needing it.

^Did you end up getting any of the ones in the links in the previous pages of this thread or did you find another one somewhere? Post up pics of it so we can see what condition it's in. Guessing you will be trying to polish it up with done aluminum polish and aluminum foil? I still can't believe how well it cleans up these clusters.

will get some pictures. It was one from the links provided previously. Another forum member bought the other one.
Yesterday was, well challenging. Brought home our new family members - rescue Beagles. Two real contrasts in dogs there. I have a feeling these guys may be establishing house rules instead of me (:

This is our goof-ball, Bridget. She's an 8 month old 65 lb lab that thinks she's a lap dog.

Here's another for you guys. This is one that sold many months ago about 30 seconds before I could reply to the ad. I was very annoyed! At least it went to a good guy and it looks good in his truck.

hillcountryflt - pics of the dogs please!

ultra - love the puppy pic!

Trozei - That's a sweet looking cluster.

I have two goofballs of my own....

They are brother and sister. She's all business and he's the most laid back, goofy dog I ever met.

Dog pics - Diesel and Bob.



Regal Diesel - We want to rename him Spencer.





Bob is the more laid back one of the two.
