The main cluster will contain:
Speedometer
Tachometer (w/hours)
Air psi
Oil psi
Water temp
Pyrometer
high beam indicator
Now that that's out of the way, I am going to be installing an overflow cluster. I know that gauges can be crammed into multi units, but I like a separate gauge for each thing, the more the merrier (a plane cockpit is my inspiration). This is a cluster that I won't look at very often, when I start up, before I shut down, at lights, etc. Many of these gauges will have warnings that can draw my attention if they exceed a parameter.
Below is my latest mock up. It's not exact, just a general idea of where things will go. The grid in the pic is 1". This panel is 30" long x 10" high, and will be mounted above the driver window and tilted down ( / ). My cab has been modified to allow this.
There are lots of items on this panel that wouldn't be in a normal deuce. My deuce is far, far from normal, I prefer to think of it as abnormal.
I have 2 inclinometers and a boat compass that I'm installing elsewhere, in the cab.
I will be building a camper in the back with a sub floor and its own electrical system.
Anyone else think of anything else? This isn't necessarily about need, though I would like gauges to serve an actual function.
The 4 gauges on the left are fuel tanks. The square in the bottom right, are air lockers. I don't need a black water gauge because I won't have a tank for that purpose.
