I have A 66'chev half ton and I am putting in new insturments I would like to know what is the best kind to use. I kind of want the street rod look in side, what is the best to use (round type) and not over a million dollars each gauage (lol). thanks Cheyne
I replaced all my gages in my 64 PU and like the look. They are autometer gages and were easy to install and wire. I also re chromed my stock gage bezel and purchased the billet aluminum gage panel. Check out my web page and go to the Interior Design section where a picture of the gage package can be seen. Hope this helps. http://www.geocities.com/richmond2_99/64PU.html
I recently replaced the gauges in my 62 with Stewart Warner "Wings" gauges available from Parr Automotive in Oklahoma City (Mail order) for $235 for the 6 gauge set. I sunk mine in a 1/2 inch thick aluminum plate with Chevy emblem blue dots for turn signal and hi beam indicator and then upholstered the whole thing to match the velour upholstery in the rest of the truck. The Wings gauges have convex lenses and a certain nostalgic appeal.
