thanks for answering | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,832 | Good decision. The chevy "V" was an attractive design but it sucks when one has alterations in mind. You can get digital and a few other options but with the GMC the field is wide open. You can trim out the divider and leave one large rectangular hole to which a custom panel can be put in with guages big enough to read without a magnifying glass including a tach.
