The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Aftermarket Gauges--What fits?

Guys,
I am about to start putting my '48 back together. I am looking for the Quad set gauge, and speedo. Does anyone make gauges that fit in the factory opening, or will I have to use adapters? I've done lots of research, and come up with very little. What did you guys use? Post pics if you can.

Thanks,
Mark

In my 48 chev I put in Auto Meter guages from Summit I had to do a little adapting to make them fit. Boy they sure look good when their mounted in the dash.

I have heard that the gauges from a Toyota truck(model unknown) will fit. Seems they are set up in two clusters like the stock Chevy ones.

Check out haneline.com. They will have what you need.

check out dolphin guages ( http://www.dolphingauges.com/ ). I cant speak of the quality personally but the price is right...

also thats whats was used in Alans detailed writeup here: http://alanhorvath.com/54chevy/dolphingauges.php

good luck!

Try www.dakotadigital.com

They make some of the nicest digital guages.

I have Autometer gauges in my 57 with an aluminum insert and orginal bezel. They look great and are electronic. That way I can calibrate my speedo with 1 touch of a button and it will always be correct. They dont have a mechanical speedo cable they have an electric impulse cable that transfers the info from the trans to the speedo. The best part is these electric speedos and guages will work on all cars and trucks and give accurate info to the driver.
