51/52 custom gauges
I am still working on getting the cab ready for paint on my 51, but I would like to start looking at gauge choices. I am going to 12 volt and this will be a daily driver truck. I have seen several pictures of custom gauges, but cannot find who sells them. I want a Speedo, Tach, fuel, odometer, temp, oil, volt, turn indicators, and a bright light indicator. I would like to get some thing that is not digital, because I like the classic look. I will consider anything. Any Ideas???

Hi,
If you don't want to convert your 6 volt gauges for use withthe 12 volty system - which is very easy and very in expensive (relatively); or you don't want to convert your oil and temp to mechanical gauges - which is also pretty easy, here is a link to a catalogue that you might be interested in browsing through - some nice stuff:
Auto Meter - Gauges
Have fun!

I got my guages that are in my truck from Oldnewparts on Ebay, look in my gallery (wiring harness) and there should be a pic or 2 of them. He has guages for all sorts of years plus the guage set I got from him came with the billet guage panel. Infact I just ordered the clock to go with the guages I got from him. Its a Dolphin set thats brand new and comes with all the sending units and all that good stuff and I think it ran me right around 200ish.

I know how to convert the old gauges, I just like the look of the new ones and they are more accurate. I want the kind that fits right into the dash. I picked up a sheet of paper at the Springfield ohio swapmeet. That has pictures of several different types of what I want, but no website.
