Post your guages!

Spencer · Mar 27, 2008

I'm looking to add some gauges soon so I'd like to see what everyone has. Don't throw poo at me if this thread has already been done!

I went custom in my 94 F 150. I bought a digital gage panel from summit. It's made by Nordskog, I believe aimed at the street rod market. It ran almost $400, but comes with everything, including sending units. Plus it is simple to calibrate the speedometer.

Thats pretty cool, very Night-Rider-ish.

Tony he said GAUGES not CLUSTERS! Nice work showing off though

Brother in law

Here's my AutoMeter transmission temp gauge, mounted in an AutoMeter pod with a green LED bulb. I bought the gauge and bulb to match my stock gauges as much as possible:

It's a cluster of gages, therefore, bite me! You like the BIL comment, don't you.

Thanks for the compliments Spencer. Never mind Chris. He's just jealous. :nana:

Spencer · Mar 27, 2008

Looks like it matches up pretty good. Trans temp is probably the first one I'll get.

If you're going to be pulling any weight with an automatic transmission then a trans temp gauge is a MUST!!

Yeah I pull a 16' car trailer with a, uhmmm, car on it.

surewhynot · Mar 27, 2008

That seems like a logical thing to put on the trailer.

msb71 · Mar 27, 2008

Hence the name " car" trailer,,lol

ill get some pictures of my temp gauge tomorrow, but it looks a lot like chris' though. same thing but for engine temp. im still trying to find a gauge pod for my truck to put the temp gauge in instead of under the dash and for a soon to be decided gauge as well.

I am running autometer gauges in my 56. I did not want to hack up the dash, so dad made me some mounts that screw in underneath.

They are in separate pods or cups of whatever they are called.

Spencer · Apr 4, 2008

Anyone else got gauges?

Would the speedo work if you had the old type with the gear and all?

Brian_B · Apr 4, 2008

I know some people who have used the "dolphin" brand gauges with an adjustable speedometer on older vehicles. I am not sure how that works though.

LEB Paul · Apr 4, 2008

or I could not be an idiot and remember I'm putting a rear in with a VSS in a couple weeks smiliegitrdone

Does the VSS run directly from the gauge panel? (will it work without an ecm is what I'm asking?)

Yeah, I've seen your later post, but...

My Ranger (I believe it's '95-'97 trucks, but I'm not sure of the range) have an electronic speedometer (no cable into it, just wires) and an electronic sensor that screws into the back of the transmission where the cable would have gone.

Haven't a clue whether the parts would interchange, but it suggests that it is at least possible.

I just have factory gauges with a column mounted tach in my F100. I bought a white face decal kit on ebay, well worth it.

not the best pic, but you get the idea

This is what I've got, love it.
