New gauges

Anyone know if i can put aftermarket gauges in my 77HB? I'm talking a whole swap, speed, fuel, all of it> If so any ideas on where i can start looking. It is a mud truck so nothing to fancy just something that works

Auto meter sells sweet gauges for every need possible. My truck has oil pressure and water temp on the cowl outside the truck and im gonna put a 5 inch tach with shift light on the steering column. I may also add a tranny temp gauge.

Is there any particular reason you want to swap all your guages? There are a lot of options. I'm a big fan of the Autometer guages like bigf150 mentioned but they're not cheap. When you say you don't want anything too fancy, just something that works I the first thought that comes to mind is: stock guages. What are you looking to spend and what guages in particular do you want in your truck?

I agree with Ivan go with stock gauges, if yours are messed up get a gauge cluster out of a junkyard truck, and you could look on summit racing.com for many diff. brands, and you can choose your price range to search through them. I have a 3 3/8" equus tachometer, that works great, and got it for $30. Summit has their own brand that seems just as good. You might want to look for a fuel gauge to, cause the stock one is horrible. You can get a set of a triple gauge set up, with oil temp, amp, etc.....

Good luck, with the search,
-Matt
