Title: Gauges
Post by: theaddictedchef on February 21, 2013, 01:12:59 am

Thinking of Stewart Warner gauges for my truck - any thoughts?  Anything anyone likes better?  One more - thinking of sending my gauges (when I decide on them) to Jeff Drew for the install.  I like the aftermarket gauge in the factory bezel look.  Here is the link in case you aren't familiar with it  http://73-87.com/7387garage/interior/gauges_recessed.htm (http://73-87.com/7387garage/interior/gauges_recessed.htm).  I have looked and looked and I think Jeff might have the best looking factory/custom look out there.  Anyone have any input on this?

That does look nice!   For temporary, I used the Autogage (lower priced Autometer) small three pack.  They don't take up much room and are pretty easy to install, and cheap. They have a "green" zone on the face so you can look quickly to see if everything is "normal"

Talk with Jeff before you commit and make sure he can do SW.
