What's a good aftermarket gauge cluster?

[Farmer Rock]

I would like to get more accurate gauges in my f250 than the factory gauges, so I got to wondering about the aftermarket gauge clusters. I see the clusters for bullnose trucks but not for bricknose which seems backwards to me. Does anyone know of a good gauge cluster that is affordable? I would appreciate any and all help/suggestions. Thanks

I went with the glowshift gauges. Wasn’t a kit per se, I just ordered what I wanted off Amazon. I mounted mine in a black ABS project box on the floor. The gauges seem accurate and were pretty reasonably priced I think. I added a USB charging port as well. I’ve personally never been a fan of A-pillar mounts, but that’s just me.

that is a nice setup you got there. I may do something like that when I turbo the truck, but for now I would like to replace the factory instrument cluster with something more accurate so I am not driving blind lol.
I was also looking at the universal instrument clusters, and wonder if I could make that work?

See if anyone is parting out any brick nose ambulances by you... Might have a dash mounted switch panel you can convert like I am...

Maybe @IDIoit can put up a picture of his gauge cluster.

theres what I did. Got it as a kit from glowshift I think it was $180 bucks. You can pick what gauges what you want.

Dakota digital. LMC has them if you want to price compare vs their website. Maybe summit too. They make em for the bullnose, not sure about brick but worth checking out!

Is that a universal gauge cluster? That really looks good.

I briefly checked with LMC last night, but could not find any for a bricknose. I am starting to think about universal clusters or modifying the factory cluster with real gauges.

Where did you buy the gauge set from? I think I am leaning towards making a cluster like that. How hard was it to do?

not hard at all, a cut off wheel, a few different hole saws, and isspro gauges.

Sounds like something I can handle. Thank you for the pictures and information.

I found this gauge kit sometime back and may get it at some point to fit in my truck, she is breaking too much stuff currently to give her anything nice.
