New dash instrument installation

[tom geiger]

Been looking around on the site for a write up on installing new dadh gauges and have not found anything yet. I'm considering the gammit of gauges so
I'm expecting to need to cut out some of the metal mounting panel behind the veneer panel?? Do have other questions such as do I use all electric or
go back to what the previous gauges are? Thanks for any ensights

My version but not exactly a bolt-in solution.

You can put a lot of extra gauges into the stock panel, though. Check
out the first pic in the album. They just weren't where I wanted them.

So, FWIW, here's my new dash. Completed October 2016.

Have you checked out Custom Instrument Panels ??

http://www.custominstrumentpanels.com/gmc.htm

Lots of very cool options there... I'm considering the new "Supreme II Panel System." It's the last one shown on their GMC list.

If I had it to do over, one of these dash panels is what I'd do.

Many people have done some outstanding dash modifications as pointed out above. If I had the $$$ I would do a Mac Dash from Custom Instrument Panels.

Ray,

I'm sure you've seen this before, but here it is again:

I got exactly what I wanted at a fraction of the cost of a Mac Dash, and
the installation probably wasn't much more difficult. Until you tear
everything down, see what basic framework you have to build on, and start
screwing stuff in place, you can't believe how easy it really is.

At my age, and our satisfaction with this coach, I'll never need another
one. But if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
