Russ . . . I like those -" DD" gauges . Looks very sharp , but
I also liked those "CON2R" gauges that were used in "Wamego" , too.
The CON2R's were way too "thick for install" . . . . . and, just from the
'picture' ; the DD's look thinner . . . ?
I went back too re-look at the CON2R's & then the "DD" , and maybe like the "Dakota Digital" alittle better. Then, fitting from the front may be a snap.
I also like your idea on the S-10 dash (removing those dash / gauges) ,
should make all that "cluster-duster" go away. I did like how you used the S-10 dash & wiring , making your wiring in your AD much simpler . . . . . . (read that , as smarter), and, getting all the S-10 senders working.

still here . . . still reading , jim

(Well, those gauges that you have pictured, very nice).
