    Default Mastercraft seats install and Autometer Gauges

    I wacked, hacked and welded the original seat frames to mount the seats. They sit just fine. Also included is a shot of the Autometer Phantom II gauges I am using. I milled a hole for the trans temp gauge and turned some plugs and welded them in place to close the holes down to a 1/2" . This allows me to accomadate my turn signal indicator lights.

    Nice job on the mods, I like the thin backs on the seats, might give a few more inches of leg room than say a J truck bench or even buckets from another doner. Lookin good!

    I have Auto Meter Sport Comp gauges in mine and love them.

    This is the only picture I have of them right now. I painted the rings to match the truck and really like how they turned out.

    I had my blinker indicators on the gauge plate with LED lights in the dash light holes. I switched back to stock when I installed the solid state blinker set up. I just rely on the blinker switch mounted blinker light now.

    Meant to say this first, but got busy trying to find the picture.

    Your panel looks good!

    Nice looking stuff, guys. I also went with Autometers but I did the Z-Series gauges. I wanted something with a black bezel or I would have just used the ProComps. It never occurred to me to paint the bezels OD with the dash, but I love that look. Nice work Tim, now I have one more thing to add to the list, lol.
