When I change the dashboard, then I'll be making a custom instrument panel, with all the gauges, electronic speedometer and 5" tachometer. Will also include the charge, emergency brake, oil light and turn signals.

Center console (in my truck anyways) is battery volts and oil pressure. Then in front of the driver's view (not sure what that area of the dash is called), it's circular gagues. Biggest one is speedo, with RPM on the lower right and the lower left blank (I assume the clock went there), Top left is temperature and top right is fuel.

Here's a picture of one similar to mine. Mine are black with blue and I have the stock steering wheel... although that will change soon
