Post pictures of yours if you like. I'd like to see some examples for mine. I have a 1994 dash to work with, no air bags or anything so i should be able to just tear all the stock stuff out and make a pannel?

I left it stock and swapped a fullsize Bronco V8 tachometer into it. The only other addition was an oil pressure gauge since the original was inaccurate.

My solution:icon_welder:
I like this, and you just ripped the old one out and replaced it with something else cut to shape? No worries about old wiring or beeping because old stuff not being hooked up?

The rest of the lights are, high beam, electric fan and alternator.

Killed the beepers many moons ago. All other functions working 100%

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
i have had many iterations over the years......and some are down right hysterical.

this temp setup rode around a few years when it should have only been a few days.

i still laugh when i see it.:D

That reminds me of my wiring rat's nest. Still tied to the drivers side inner fender with a shoestring. 2 years later..
