Finally got around to playing with some metal and different gauge set ups turned out pretty well let me know what you think. sorry for the picture sizes and quality phone pics.


started out by taking out the vent didn't need it truck doesn't have a/c.




have my oil pressure gauge in for effect.


backside of dash panel.


finished product minus the scratches from the rivet gun.


now for the water temp and volt meter.








finished but not installed at the moment need to do some more wiring.:beer:

Looks good! I like it better with the "brushed steel" look though

looks good to me too. i've always gone with the flat black or similar flat color so i don't get reflections and distractions when looking at them when night driving.

Thanks I spent alot of time trying to figure out how to get them to fit where the 4x4 switch and vent is. I also like the "brushed steel" look but I had some flat black lying around.
