Күн бұрынToday we are looking at something really cool. We will be going over how to convert the stock dodge truck bezel from the 72-80 trucks. The tutorial consists of modifying the stock bezel to accept the various size gauges offered by New Vintage USA. The gauges shown in the video are dummy gauges, aka gauge shells only with zero internal parts. The purpose of this video is to show you guys how easy it is to modify your own gauge cluster and install a set of beautiful aftermarket gauges. Overall the process of installing the aftermarket gauges dodge w100 was really quick and if you can figure out the wiring on your own, the rest of the process should be a snap and you will have fancy new gauges bolted to your dodge powerwagon or w100 truck. NVU also offers several different types of gauges to suit the various styles that one might build their truck. Maybe something classic and elegant for low rider cars and maybe something loud and exotic for drag racers and offroaders. These guys offer the best solution for when your tach doesn't work or your speedo doesn't work. The only thing I can say for sure is be careful and don't break your bezel, these mods are done at your own risk. But maybe the risk is worth it when looking for aftermarket gauges dodge d100.

I'm glad I came upon this post! I have a 1978 D150 with a very dim dashboard... I have been trying to find a template to change my gauges to something more modern!

Thanks for watching! I've had my set of NVU gauges in daily driving for about 8 months and I've had zero issues with them so feel free to check them out 👍

Working on a 78 D200 myself. Very helpful, I'm trying to find parts and stuff to restore it.

It gets very difficult because theres not a lot of reproduced parts for these trucks so we have to retrofit a lot of stuff.

The gauge vendors originally asked to see if the gauges fit the panel. The correct answer is some do and some don't. Butchering hard to come by dash panels is a very high school way of replacing gauges. There are companies that can restore the original gauges. Anyone that feels the need to hack and trash these original panels should get a piece of aluminum or stainless plate and build one from scratch.

This is great and exactly what I'm looking to do with my 77. How difficult is the actual wiring up of the gauges?
@NightWrencher 2 жыл бұрын
Not hard at all since they come with their own senders. I'll have videos on that soon too

Wouldn't it be cool if all the New Vintage USA gauge cups were actually made to fit the bezel holes without modifications ?

In an ideal world that would be cool but the truck bezel is one of the rare exceptions where the gauges actually dont fit right in.

Have you tried to install the loaded bezel into the dash? Im curious to see how much you have to wrestle it in. Also, is there an actual link to these gauges? I looked at their site and not sure what setup would work correctly in a late bezel.

Hey man, so all of their 2-1/16"(52mm) gauges use the back housing so as long as they are the right size, it should work the same. Just pick a style that you like and get the right gauges. They only offee 3 sizes and the speedo size is the 4-3/8 one.

As Nightwrencher mentioned, using a hole saw on a pre-existing hole can be dangerous, especially to fingers. I did use hole saws on the left and right wings of the dash panel. On the small pre-existing dash holes, I used a 2 inch round grinding wheel on a power drill. It widened the holes and removed the tapered tunnel behind the holes.. So, the 2-1/16 gauges fit perfectly.

OK, keep you stock gauges. I don't really care what you do.

Do what I did and buy a dash out of a salvage yard. My stock dash is stored in pristine condition in case I would ever want to go back to stock. The one I bought will be modified just like Nightwrencher did. ps.: thanks for the video. I was trying to figure out how to do this, but now I don't have to recreate the wheel, so to speak.
