Default anyone who's done this....

swapped out their stock gauges for some aftermarket ones? I've seen it done and i've read threads on how to do it even with the stock gauge bezel, but i'd like to see the end results if any out there. THanks guys.

Yeh........ I'm too old (J/K) to see the small ones so I put the Autometer Phantom 2 5/8" gauges in. I also went with the 3 3/8" electric speedo. No cable!

I did my 67 with Auto Meter 2 5/8 oil, fuel and temp and 5 inch tach and speedo in the original bezel. You can use most of the original wiring harness to power the gauges .
I am looking for a picture now.

It took about 4 hours to complete and it looks great.

does anyone have any links to writeups on how to do this


well the electric speedo would be cool how do i get that


this is going to be my next project

are the guages about the same price as the stockers? (stockers being like 70 bucks each)


does any place sell a guage kit with all the guages?
