Another gauge option
These are the gauges I put in my 65. They are Ford Motorcraft gauges that I made a custom plexiglass insert for the original gauge bezel. Looks great with the Ford oval in the gauges. I also moved the ***** to the consol to clean up the dash. They also come in black face which I put in my first 65.

Man that looks sharp and neat. Just yesterday Santa gave me a new dash bezel from Dennis Carpenter and I was just thinking of how I could install a different type look on my 65 speedo from (Customcab) stock to a sharper custom look.
I'm impress!!!!

Did you use new sending units or original? Is the speedo cable or electric? Excellent work, I'd almost bet someone could market this setup. Would look better than those led numberd setups from Dak"ota Digitial. IMHO!

Thanks Mitch! It would look very good with your new bezel.

The kit comes with the fuel sending unit and you use your own oil and temp senders. My speedo is cable, but I think you can get the electric ones now. How much are you willing to pay for the setup! May have to consider that. I also did a set with black face gauges in my first 65 that I sold to a friend. He had me take them out and paint the bezel black. Looked better than I thought it would when it was done. He blacked out everything on the interior. I still prefer this look.

I recommend you pm Stevenhf100; this post is from last year about this time.
Gauges I see at local swap mets from after market vendors. What's cool is the location of the accessory switches as well as the white face bezel.

Did you ever get your gauge panel done? If so do you have pics?
