I have an 85 K10 and the gauges quit working. I would like to know if any of you put in Autometer gauges in your dash cluster. And if so what size gauges did you use. This is my first square body and first rebuild. Any help would be great

Great response. Wonder what something like that would cost.

Depends on what style gauges you like, then there's the small pieces and wiring and your time.

I thought it was funny when i looked the fully contained tacks with tack light and housing are drastically cheaper then the inserts but the inserts look way better to me. Just doesn't make sense takes more materials to make the Fully inclosed one than It does to make the insert. kind of like cartridge versus standard oil filters cartridge filters are what's inside a standard oil filter there's less to them less expense to make but for some reason they charge more for them.

On Summit Racing your water temp, oil pressure, etc. range from $50 on up
The Tach and speedo start at about $150. It all depends on if you electric or mechanical and the color of the face of the guage.

No problem I started this because all my gauges quit about two weeks after I traded my jeep for the truck.

2 1/16" and 5" prepare to cut the backs of the gauge pods if you want them to fit
