more guages

Ok I was looking at a mack I have, and probably going to part out.
It has a pyro, 2 rearend temp guages, tranny temp, plus water and oil, air etc. These guages are matching and all have the mack logo. I'm thinking about using them in my crew project, what do you all think about the mac logos in a ford. I guess I could put the dogs on the sides and the hood too. lol

I say go for it! It would be unique, and they are probably high quality gauges.

I'm sure the guages are good quality, I'm just not sure about the mac logos. lol I could build a custom dash and use the mack speedo to but the tach is mechanical, and finding one that will match the speedo.

If you could figure out a way to make them work, even just a few of them, I think it would still be unique. I associate Mack with heavy duty, tough, American made quality.

I think a full custom dash with Mack gauges would be awesome in the crew cab. Would be unique just like that truck is going to be!

I think they would be pretty cool. I'm doing something similar. I'm a big John Deere fan. Working on getting a set of JD guages only problem is I've never seen a JD pyro. I've got a set of KW guages, I may end up using them.

These are all old school guages, makeing everything but the tach work will be easy enough. I have all the sending units and the speedo is probably a three inch it will fit nice.

Make sure you stick the Bulldog out on the hood too. You know what they say about facing the dog the right direction!

Didn't the tach only go to 2500, seems like less than 3000 anyway!

Looked the guages over in the old mack yesterday and the only thing with the mack logo is the pyro also marked isspro the rest match but just have the sw logo on them.
I also checked my other mack cab and it has the pyro too but no leads or probe.

And the tach goes to 3500 which would be enough if it wasn't mechanical. The speedo only goes to 85, so I will try to incorporate the guages and use the stock 100 mph speedo.
