The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Aftermarket Gauges in a 61?

I want to put an oil press & water temp gauge in my 61. I am looking at either 2 1/16 or 2 5/8 gauges. I am wondering if anyone makes a gauge pod for these trucks. I want something that looks good. I would rather not have then hanging out under the dash, kinda lame. anyway is there a manufacturer that makes a gauge pod for this truck? thanks.

Thanks for the link Avette4me. It looks like most, if not all of my gauges will have to be replaced, including the Tach.

All of my gauges are in the dash board. I agree wirh Fort Knox. I don't want anything hanging down.

If your not looking for stock then try Brothers or Tuckers companies. They have aluminum inserts that except the 2 different sizes of gauges.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, maybe this would help: wwwdolphingauges.com . They have dash inserts and gauges to put in them.

Kyle,
Look for a C60 series from 1960-1963. These usually has ALL needle guages, and sometimes as a bonus, there's a tach with a vacumm guage too!!

I've also seen this cluster on a bunch of the '63 C10's as well as the '63 C20's too(V8 models), so keep an eye out for this factory cluster if you're wanting the truck to look factory.

You'll also want to get the sending units off of the same truck, and harnesses. You can find this guage setup usually pretty cheap on ebay minus the tach & vacumm guage option from time to time.
I hope this helps.
