Do these look stock enough for a 67-72 truck or WHAT?

I kind of like them. It's probably the ratfink green line though. :2cents:

I think they'd look great in these old trucks just fine. Very classic nostalgia look to them.

Someone with an F600 instrument panel needs to measure the openings and see if the tach and speedo will fit... :wink:

My old tractor has those exact gauges. 1969 Simplicity. I'd love to put those in the 67 in place of my autometer american mucle gauges.

I like 'em too. They look very period correct for the late '60s to early '70s. :thup:

I wonder about the cost. Did you check with any retailer selling them?

Here is a link that has several colors in a classic looking guage setup. I think I have found my guages of choice. http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch ... wordSearch

Man, I dig those the more I look at them, although, I like the all black ones a tad better. $448 for the ones I want.

It is definetly something to think about, I want to go autometer colbalts but that will run nearly three times more than the sw gauges.

Ok, I really dig these http://store.summitracing.com/partdetai ... toview=sku
and since I am going to use the F-600 guage bezel, I will have the 4 small guage holes that will have the Alt, Oil, Fuel, Water temp, and the 3 larger holes with the speedo and the tach, but what would go well in the 3rd large hole? I thought about a clock...dont really have need for the vacuum guage...maybe they make a monitor that size so I can mount a camera in back for backing this monster up lol.

I like them I think they'd look the best in a green truck to bring out that bit of color in them and stand out.
