ok, I own A 68 Dodge Dart.. And I'm just not thrilled with the gauges that came from the factory, didnt come with a tac and I'm going to need a boost gauge for when I go turbo.

My question is What kind of dash (or hopfully just the insterment cluster)out of another mopar will fit in my old dart?

Or dose anyone know some place that sells inserts for my dart?

hopeing not to do much fabricaring..

www.rockymountaindashes.com made a gauge cluster for me:

(I included it here as a link and not an embedded image so that I don't irk anyone with a 56k connection or 800x600 resolution or both.)


I'm using all VDO Vision gauges, except for the fuel gauge which is autometer. This cluster will require cutting the dash, though. There is someone who also makes a plastic insert more like the '70 A-body units (I think). Also a member on the board custom makes clusters from your old cluster. Try a search here.

Haven't gotten around yet to fitting these gauges...still need to buy my switches, actually.

Here's a bunch of gauges all in one unit:

That might simplify things, if you don't want to fabricate.

sick 6 (member of this board) has his own custom gauge cluster business, check it out, it's a cheaper alternative to rockymountain dash.
