I thought a new engine deserved a pair of new gauges to properly keep check on its well being.

So is that the trim piece that is on the dash? That goes from the middle of the truck to the passenger side?

Nice! I like how the pre 80 dash insert is straight. I would like to do something like that too but the 81-87 dah is bent at the end :(

You must have the wood dash bezel too then ?

That is where it goes, yes. I made it about a year ago and never got around to installing it until now. A little time standing on my head should have it installed.

Well, this is an 81 and the wood piece is curved at the RH end. I will in time make a wood dash too, at that time I will move the gauges to the dash, I just didn't want to mess the printed circuit right now.
