Custom built Gage / Cluster Panel

[GrimsterGMC]

Test fitting complete!! Ive got some cleaning up of wiring and troubleshooting small wiring issues… but it fits & im happy!! Park brake, battery, chk engine, hi beam, left / rite turn. All work. Seat belt of course is iffy. Oil appears correct, engine temp appears rite. Fuel / battery gage. Tach appears working; I lost the power on speedo but i kno what happened i think

Old school custom comes to life, I love it.

Change of plans. finaly got a 95 up dash. Got one from a 2000 tahoe. Already gutted all wiring out Of it.. and making a storage compartment where passengers airbag was.

undecided on factory gages with white / blue overlay, or making new backplate and transfering gages over.

Since im keeping the 93 wiring, i cross referenced what would transfer / work on existing should i go that route.

The ones with pink dashes on the RIGHT means i tested the indicator and installed new bulbs.

pink dash on LEFT means it will transfer to old wiring harness
BLUE TRIANGLEs & trans circuits will not be used
BLACK LINE meant Not available on 2000 plug. (Diesel or M/T)

Whoa,wait a minute.
Are you saying that you bought all those parts,did all that work and now you're gonna put factory gauges in it?

 

[jus10inbrla]

hahah. Point well taken! I always like to have a backup plan Tho !!

Phew!
I like the way those gauge needles illuminate even when the dials are not backlit. I wound up changing mine to light up with the key on. They were so shaded that there were times I couldn't see them in the daylight.

i looked at glowshift originally. Then someone local had a set.. just didnt care forr them, smoked or clear. Guy also said they were troublesome at times, and customer service is a joke.

these gages so far im pleased with, and i like the orientation of needles.

I looked up those Motor Meter gauges. Those are about half what I paid for my Marshalls.
Keep us posted on well they hold up.
You're crash test dummy now!
