3-gauge panel

[Timber]

I saw this and thought of using it. Not sure if I will but thought I'd link it here. Better than idiot lights and looks better than the typical open-back 3-gauge panels.

Go find a civy truck with the premium gauge cluster and replace the dummies with that. I had them in my civy C20 and they were great, even comes with a clock.

In my 85 civvy blazer I used the auto meter Pro Comp gauges and mounted them in the IP where the factory gauges where. I had 2 water temp gauges, one in each head. A volt gauge and oil pressure gauge. Looked ok but I think I would use these now.

Even if the circuit board on the back of the cluster accepted them, or if you swapped in a new cluster, you would lose the Gen 1 and Gen 2 lights that way. Not worth it.

I will have to pull my Owners Manuel out, but maybe the Diesel Dash with the gauge cluster on it, might work. I know that one is a bit different. Thats just what I would do, keep it looking "stock." I like these, just not the white face with the rest of the Black faced gauges

MY truck was converted to 12v so i didnt have to deal with the gen lights

You could remove the "factory" alt gauge from the dash bezel to eliminate duplicity and put a tiny tach in that spot with one of these pods on the dash. That'd be a very cheap set-up to keep good tabs on the vitals. I agree it'd look much better with black-face gauges.
