It was a tough decision between Dakota Digital and NVU. I went with the M-102 as I liked how it looked the best.

Need pics of them installed. :hat:

I've done alot of custom resto work with NVU - they make nice looking setups. Almost went this way but had all new VDO Visions to use.

What made you go with individual gauges over the panel deal that they sell for squarebody? Just curious.

Did you buy their snap-adapt for the 18pin plug or are going to to just cut the 18pin

Sorry it took so long to reply to everyone. I initially thought I would use the snap adapt but ended up installing a painless wiring harness. Just finishing that up now. No need for the snap adapt

I will send some pics once I am done. I decided to do a rattle can rebuild inside the cab and that really slowed me down. I realized I wouldn’t do it once the gauges and new dash pad were installed. I was just being lazy.

Zelph, not sure what you are referring to. Sounds like I didn’t do all my homework before my purchase. I will go back to their website and see what I missed as I thought this was their complete kit. I

yes, these gauges fit in the original locations. I added a tachometer gauge and it will go where the old fuel gauge was. I understand they take a bit of monkeying with to get right but haven’t installed them yet. The decision was ultimately about looks and I hope they perform well.

The previous owner painted it purple with yellow flames. A giant hot wheel so to speak. The paint went south and I needed to do something about it as it sits outside in the rainy Northwest.

You'll probably have to take the whole panel of then you can get to the connections to remove it. I'm sure the know itself won't screw off.
