Thread: New Gauge style for Ford F1 truck....Brand preference

Congrats.. nice gauges

These are the gauges I ended up with

I've installed them in a customer's car, they work and look great!!!!! IMO a wise decision on gauge purchasing!!!!!

Looks good

thanks guys, like all the stuff I get for the truck, I spend too much time thinking about it, and in the end get what I wanted in the first place as the first choice. I guess I'm learning that once you dive in and pour tons of time on something, you might as well get what you want, even if it costs more, it just means saving a little longer to get there, but it's worth it in the end.
I guess it will get done when it's ready!

My Brother put the two 5 1/4" Dolphin gauge set-up in his 50 Chevy Pick-up about six years ago and has not had any problems with them, once we got the electronic speedo set-up.

I don't like the Dolphin Logo either though, so I used the TPI gauges in my 48 F1, same price as Dolphin without the goofy logo. I have had my TPI gauges for about 4 years no problem so far and a whole lot easier to set-up the electronic speedo.

If you want to check out the TPI gauges, they are also use the full page ad in SR and R & C magazines.

Sorry I guess I was a little late, I didn't notice the second page on this thread.

No problem. I like the two tone paint on your f1! Nice truck!

Thats what tipped the scales for me. They didn't pack the correct instructions with the speedo. When I contacted the manufacture it was like "well...ok...Heres your instructions."

I have Classic Instruments (the antique brass) guages in my 34. I like the style and quality, but they are not without issues. They will also rebuild original guage clusters, if you were to prefer to stay with the originals.
