Been looking around on the site for a write up on installing new dadh gauges and have not found anything yet. I'm considering the gammit of gauges so I'm expecting to need to cut out some of the metal mounting panel behind the veneer panel?? Do have other questions such as do I use all electric or go back to what the previous gauges are? Thanks for any ensights

Many people have done some outstanding dash modifications as pointed out above. If I had the $$$ I would do a Mac Dash from Custom Instrument Panels.

Ray,
I'm sure you've seen this before, but here it is again:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g4899-new-dash-panel.html
I got exactly what I wanted at a fraction of the cost of a Mac Dash, and
the installation probably wasn't much more difficult. Until you tear
everything down, see what basic framework you have to build on, and start
screwing stuff in place, you can't believe how easy it really is.
At my age, and our satisfaction with this coach, I'll never need another
one. But if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
