I need something like that..... I love gauges....

 

[Darrin Tosh]

Here is mine.

Looks good,!

I am deciding if I want to paint it the blue to match the truck or keep them black. That looks like the blue that I need. Was that the Duplicolor Vinyl Paint?

I picked up a can yesterday but it looks way too Blue, Yours looks like the correct color.

If you go to an automotive paint store, they can match the colour and mix up some in a paint that will stick to plastic / vinyl so you don't wind up with two tone and you can get 1/2 pt which wont cost much more than a rattle can

Thanks, I have done that with exterior colors but not interior colors. The Duplicolor Vinyl Paint has worked GREAT on other applications that I have used them on. My gauge pods on Big Ed have been painted for bout 10 years and still look like the factor dash.

The Eagle has Landed,..it was the shape of a Big Brown Truck, but works for me!


The Dash Pods have arrived. There is actually a Banks Sticker on the bottom it says:

Banks 63104 (R) Gauge Pod Adapter.

Then there is a part number that is molded into the bottom, Its 0402-6930.

The right person could flip two moulds off them thar parts in fibreglass in absolutely no time at all...then they could pop them out as needed

Banks may know were the tooling for those are, most molders keep that kinda stuff forever.
If anyone comes up with a spare I would buy it,the bottom mostly.

They were clueless when i gave them the part number over the phone. I got put on hold 3 times during that conversation

The guage pod was in the 92 when I bought the truck, can't say if it was painted or not.

Well I did find someone, actually they found me last week but I sent an email to one of their consultants yesterday and here's the response I got regarding the 2 gauge dash pod assemblies.

Ron,

Unfortunately we do not carry this product anymore or make it. We haven’t for several years. Your best bet is to look on Craigslist, Ebay, or some of our distributors that might have some of our old product they never sold. Sorry I don’t have better news. Best of luck!

Let me know if there ever anything else I can help you with.

If you guys do find someone to make them, be it a member or vendor, post up. I will take two. It looks a lot cleaner than the pillar stick on in my '91. Until then I will just hit the web.

 

[sle2115]

I want one too! that is cool and while I've seen the one in Darrin's truck, I thought it was something Darrin made...cool!

 

[G.W BUFFALO]

Ow you should find a guy to reproduce those molds.. I want one for my future bronco build..
