More gauge questions

K, I've looked over all the other clusters here and they are all really wicked. But, my van came with a bunch of pinstriping on the panel, so I want to keep it. What gauges would be about the same size? I've been searching EBay and its tough to tell...anything from the '30's or '40's I'm eyeing up and the proper E van is currently at $100. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

What's wrong with the gauges you have? I see them on ebay all the time and they're always pretty cheap.

The smallest aftermarket gauges are 2 1/6, I think, which may be too big for the stock cluster.

You could leave the gauges as is, keep your panel, and mount the important aftermarket gauges on a panel under the dash, or elsewhere to the right of the stock cluster

get into mike basaraba -member here -now on vacation i think- he can make about any gague panel 4 ya -look thru his posts for ideas too-all the gagues from below -mid late 50's you must remember will be 6volt stuff!! Happy vannin

12 volt and I have 4 aftermarket gauges on 2 panels, so I would like to clean things up a little. The main cluster is right in front of the bay, so I'm gonna get some vintage gauges, but the fourth hanging under the dash doesn't fit with the vision. I'm trying to blend Steve's vision, traditional hot rodding and what my idea of what 'rat rodding' is. Its actually very easy, kinda, I just need to find the right temp gauge...'30's Lafayette would be really sweet. Yah, I can afford almost anything, but I'm not an idiot with my cash, just inexperienced. I'm searching EVERYTHING...even euro stuff. Its part of the fun.
