Talking Check our our 60 gauge set

We used the original bezel, cut out the old gauge holes, welded in some 16 gauge steel and cut new holes. A little paint and clear coat followed by new gauges and signal diods. Hopefully we get some time this weekend to do some wiring.

Nicely done!! I love it when a plan comes together. I can't wait to see them in place and glowing pleasantly.

I recently built my own cluster for my 49 (check out my gallery) Now I'm facing the same situation you are....getting the truck wired up so I can see how they look installed.

Very nice work!
Bobby
