hey everyone. so im getting tired of that crappy plastic dash and gauge cluster and am thinking of replacing it with aftermarket gauges. can someone point me in the right place to find out how to do this? im sure there is a instructive website for it but i cant find it.
 
I did mine, twice..
pretty simple yet time consuming id say. mine is a piece of sheet metal, drilled and bored the holes for the desired gauges, cut holes for the stereo and switch panels and done.
 
how did you wire this stuff up? and the shift indicator? aswell as the warning lights?

You are going to have to make sacrifices in this area. If not, then the project becomes much bigger and time consuming when trying to save all the little things. I have Kerts dash coming in the mail. If you don't want to go that route, it's easy enough to cut a piece and bolt it in there. Put ur gauges in and be happy.

I re-wired the whole truck with an EZ-Wiring kit, so I wired all the gauges separately, I also got ride of the dummy lights, shifter thing, and whatever else I could throw away.
