For a lot of folks, the toughest part of a restoration project is sourcing good, factory-correct gauges.
That’s because time usually takes the hardest toll on those precision instruments—fading their faces, crumbling their circuits, and seizing the intricate movement inside.
That also means finding a good set of OE-spec replacement gauges for your classic car or truck can be a frustrating endeavor.
…Which is precisely why Summit Racing comes to the plate with its Direct-Fit Restoration Instrument Gauges.
Available for popular vintage Chevy, GMC, and Ford vehicles from the 1940s on up, these gauges not only look the part, they’ll fit and function just like the original ones.
In other words, they’re pretty much identical to what the original installers plucked from the parts bin on the factory floor.
And better still, Summit Racing also offers Direct Fit Reproduction Gauge Bezels to fit them all in, along with Direct Fit Dash Wiring Harnesses to hook them up.
There is an impressive mix of gauges to choose from too—mechanical and electrical, including clocks. And when applicable, the gauges come with their appropriate sending unit as well
Heck, if you’ve got a 1973-87 Chevy/GMC truck with an upgraded HEI ignition system or even an LS swap, Summit Racing makes a modified 8,000 rpm tachometer that’ll work perfectly, without upsetting the vintage aesthetic of your gauge cluster.
