LooksIs it all wired up yet? Which gauges did you include?

 

[2fast4you]

it isnt wired up yet, im waiting on to get all the other stuff in there before i start wiring ( tail lights, headlights, etc...) theres volt, water temp, tach and oil pressure and shift light... was thinking about a tranny temp gauge but trucks only not seeing much street time so i dont think the tranny will get anywhere near hot enough

I don't know what kinda light you got but, in are race car we took a small dia. exhaust tubing I think about1" or 1 1/4" and cut it about an inch long. Then welded it to a piece of sheet metal to make a flange and then found a rubber hose just the right size for the light to fit and used a wide hose clamp to hold it in place.... the dash was fiber glass so the flange just got glassed in from the back side but this might give ya an idea

Don't Autometer make a ShiftTach with an integrated light? (yes) I set one up with audio both in cockpit and helmet, why look down at the dash when you can scope the checkered flag. Just a thought man, keeps the eyes on the prize.

Edit: Is that a cup of liquid on your dash? Shame, shame haha.

Looks great. I recently did my dash too and the wiring was pretty easy. Here's a pic:
