Stock gauges

Will my stock 51 gauges work with a 12 volt upgrade. I can't find a aftermarket set that i like.

Fred, there's been a ton of posts here about using stock gauges when converting to 12v. They will work with the appropriate voltage reducer hooked to them. You might do a search on the subject for all the details.

Yep, and there are a number of different devices to reduce the voltage to the gauges.

It's a fairly simple process and you retain your 6 volt sending units.

Lots and Lots of threads on this. So yes, as Wayne suggested, I'd use the "Advanced Search" Type "Gauges" in Quotes, and my user name in "posts by" and you'll probably find all of the gauge threads for the past two years.
