Gauge swap

Hey guys,

I have a 87 GTA and I would like to do a gauge swap. I was wondering how I would go about doing this? Where can I find parts? What challenges am I going to run into and how can I avoid or get around these challenges. Thanks again guys for your help! I appreciate it. I wouldn't have bought a T/A with the digital but the car was in excellent shape!

Thanks,

Jason

Hey man I understand that..

I ran a search and it didn't really give me a clear cut answer.. Most people want to do a Analog to a Digital set up.. Not a Digital to a Analog. Does anyone know what must be done for a change and what used/reproduced dashes can I use i.e years? I also don't want to swap for a 4th gen dash that's another thing that a lot of people did when I searched.. Sorry for posting something that has came up many times but I didn't find what I was looking for..

This place has custom gauge setups but Im not sure if they have one for a GTA. You could call and ask.
