Trans temp?
Amps?
Thanks

Run that bad boy down the road for about 25 miles. Then you will know what they should read.
Looks good.

What do you use to indicate transmission gear selection? I would use:

<http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=64/category_id=-1/home_id=-1/mode=prod/prd64.htm>
or
http://goo.gl/ML0H7

I think that Bob Drewes has the Dakota Digital dash in his coach and this is what he uses, if I am wrong, Bob speak up!

I like that. I was wondering what I would do, even considered the old style that sat on the column. Thanks

Here are pictures of the radio relocation. I'm not crazy about this radio, but it will do for now. I'd like one with the touch screen that comes out at you, but with the angle it's mounted at, it will just point up.
Someone asked if all the gauges were speedhut.
All but the vacuum gauge.

Did you make up the dash-topper carpet, or is that available off-the-shelf?

I got it from a parts coach, but I've seen them for sale on someone's site.
