I have been practicing with a 110V welder and now feel semi-proficient enough to try to make a few adjustments to my PO hacked up dash on my 68. I plan to move the glove box 2 1/4" to the left, remove the speaker grill, remove the radio hole (that looks like PO cut with a dull butter knife), remove the ash tray. I was thinking of relocating the three heater knobs/cables, plugging the left over holes with some 16 gauge, keep all of the critical switches in the same place as factory.. then start popping holes for the 2 5/8" autometer gauges I bought. I got the gauges a long time ago on sale; I bought an oil pressure gauge, engine temperature gauge, engine vacuum gauge and an amp gauge. I will likely replace the amp gauge with a volt gauge having now seen the ill of that choice. i already have a 6" tach on the column. My real question; sorry for theh length in getting to it is. What if any other gauge should I look to add? I think I could add 5 of the 2 5/8" gauges a little better than 4, look more symmetrical anyway and I really only planned on 4.
Considered fuel pressure, but dont want a mechanical fuel pressure gauge for safety reasons. is there another mechanical gauge anyone runs to help keep their 50 year old truck running strong?
