65 Skylark Gauges

Doing the pro-touring thing with my Skylark and need some info on gauges. I'm not a big fan of the radio-dial speedometer and I'll need new gauges to go with the LS2 swap.


Are there any gauge clusters from other GM cars that will fit the Skylark dash? GTO, Chevy II, Chevelle, Impalla all had that style speedometer, but I can't find any info on if any will cross over. I have a spare dash and could cut it up, but I hate to do that If I don't have to, and to really get enough room for the larger round gauges, I'd have to relocate the wiper/headlights/top/cig lighter controls. I could use a full digital gauge set if I had to - Dakota Digital has a univeral one that almost fits.

 

This is what I did on my 64. Speed Hut gauges and minimal cutting because the gauges are very shallow depthwise.

That's kind of the direction I'm headed, was just hoping there was something out there that didn't require moving the light, wiper, convertible top switches and the lighter.

 

I used a mini guage trio in the panel above the radio (which you can barely see in this pic)

 

Not super helpful but an excuse to show off my Speedhut Gauges as well this in a 70:

 

you can stick some of those dakota digital units in place. seems like they even make one for a 69 that would be a close fit.

 

This is a digital piece I put together for my 66. Used intellitronix parts to do it…….
