Got gauges, finally

I went to Wally's world last week and found some cheap mechanical gauges to use in the truck. Of course it takes forever to decide how and where to put them. You will need to go into my gallery to see the pics. I am too stupid to figure out how to post the picture here.

Put a shutoff valve at the motor for that oil pressure gauge. Nice neat install there.

Where did you relocate the cargo light? That's a good location. I may use it instead of the dash top. COOL!

The switches are right underneath. I used a piece of card board and cut out a template of the existing key hole the switches were in and used a Dremmal tool to cut out the new hole. You will need to feather the edges to get the switches to lock in place.
