Will an autometer 5" gauge or any other 5" aftermarket guage fit in a '53 gmc dash as a perfect fit, or are they just a little bit off? I'd like to get some new gauges for my old truck but don't want to spend the dough for factory originals.
Thanks,

On mine, my old gauges weren't really working anyway, so I cut them up to fabricate my own adapters.
The holes in your dash are actually about 5 1/4" in diameter, which is a little too large for your 5" gauges. But the home-made adapters work great. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 506 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 506 | Yes. On the 52 chevy i used the stewart warner speedo and 4 guage will fit using the old trim rings. You'll have to make new clips for the back.
