Yeah, they are the best vintage looking gauges in black that I could fine. it about drove me nuts looking at dozens of gauges so when I found em, I just took the stock ones. I wish they had the backlight dial though But I don't drive it much at night... yet. I almost went with the Autometer black diamond series but they look like a cheap knock off of these. Do you have them in yet? I'd rather of had the autometer speedo just for the calibration, looks easier that this but dip switches can't be too bad. I didn't get the module where I could calibrate it with a button. That was another $100 so I'll use the saved cash for the interior.

Yeah, It still works and they had one in the ford range. 75-10 although ours is listed at 73-10. Mine actually listed at 74-10 on the meter so that's cool.

Here's a quick pic of the panel almost installed. Didn't feel like taking the fingerprints off.
