I went the stepper route on the 47 and the 49, looked amazing.

mine went to the original s10 cluster that I hid behind the dash, but you could do it like henry did too with aftermarket gauges. on the high beam/turn signal thing, on the 47 I put the lights on the steeering cover, on the 49 I drilled them into the speedo face.
I am getting to the point though that I will just order some custom made to work with the S10 harness from now on. figuring out hours in the shop, it costs less! there is a company I cant remember the name off hand that makes some killer gauges and you essentially tell them what you want and what the senders are. I am jonesing to use them on the next 49 I am doing. |
Well now that you suggest it, I do need something to do with myself while its ridiculously cold outside. I didn't think to put the lights into the gauges. It will totally ruin the originals so that part sucks....Probably the cheapest route at this point. All I really need for inspection is speedo, odometer, and the three lights. They don't care if I am overheating with an empty tank of gas haha
I do have a separate water temp I installed just so I didn't do something catastrophic when I was running the engine.
Question: Do you need the wiring harness and ECU to make the Odometer work correctly or does it just need power? I'm not running the wiring harness from that truck anymore if I do need the ECU.
