Default New Custom Guage Cluster

Just got back in town and picked up my new gauge cluster and put it in. Tell me what you think. This is better since i had gauges in the pillar, overhead console, and center of the dash, and the stock gauges didnt work. So now they are all in one spot, and cleaner than the first try that i had attempted. I havent decided if I am going to powder coat it or what not yet.

mmmm sexy. I really like the look of them being welded in there.. makes a tough look.

They glow blue at night too?

**edit** who did it for you and how much did they run you, if you dont mine?

That looks clean and a smooth look!! Are those custom gauges? Or Are they already made for the 99-02 trucks?

A machine shop did the cluster and I already had the gauges, so yes it is custom. They are easy to hook up, its just a few wires a gauge and most of them connect together to make one big wire. Pretty easy

Yup, it's a digital one in the speedometer. You can see it best in the middle pic.

Any plans to make them for sale? at least blank ones, and let people mount there own guages? And if not, if ya don't mind me asking, what did the shop charge you to make it up? Was it a friend? I like the idea, and imagine getting the overall size and mounting setup would be the hardest part, then just picking the guage placement, i'd even smooth the welds better, and powdercoat, or make the guage rings a very close fit, and weld the backside, the possibilities are endless, now ya got me thinking.
