My stock gauges have had it and i'm looking for some advice on replacing them. I'm thinking about use autometer. The problem seems to be the mounting of the new gauges into the 3or4 piece instrument panel.

None that I know of. The site actually shows how he modified the cluster for turn signal and high beam indicators.

When I get the money, I'm going for Dakota Digital gauges.

I don't necessarily like the digital look, but I do like how the fuel/tach/speedo all can be recalibrated. So if you get a set of 4.11s or change your wheel size, you don't have to change speedo gears.

hydrocarbon, if you use the electronic speedo from autometer instead of the mechanical you can calibrate the speedo without having to change the gear, just push a button (supplied with the speedo) drive exactly one mile then push the button again and the speedo is calibrated, just find a mile marker on the highway near your house then drive to the next one, that's it
