I built a custom gauge panel for the S10. These gauges will work with the LS engine swap. As always the parts I used are listed in the links below. Thanks for watching and don't forget to like and subscribe!!

Nice and easy way to add analog gauges, especially for that old-school look. I probably would have gone this route if I had not already got the Terminator X and the 7" screen.
@Your PCMD yeah ….. my goal is to get the Terminator X with the 7” screen someday. I just have so much too do to get it going I am using my money strategically to just get it running. I bet the Terminator X is awesome to be able to plug n play and have all the additional options in the software. Thanks for the comment!
Dude that is so badass.
@BillyFontaineSYB Thanks!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
Thanks for this man, helping me out a lot with my Sonoma.
Keep 'em coming!👌
@YoungBlood20101 you are very much welcome my friend. Thanks for watching, the comment, and the sub!! I will keep making videos for sure!! It is comments like this that keep me making more videos. I am glad to hear that they are helping someone out there. Thanks again!!!
Awesome video. Immediately subscribed at the end. I want to do the same to my 91 s10. Give it the old school look
@robertbenjamin1513 Thank you!! I want to give mine an old school look as well. I am thinking black tailgate and roll pan with a blacked out front bumper, hood, and grill. Maybe some patina looking paint on the body. Again thanks for watching, subscribing, and the comment. Really appreciated!!
I like the screw down retainers for the guages. Makes it easy and clamps them down flat. Dash looks good. 👍
@Richard Pugh yeah these are the screw on type but they are cheap gauges to get me going. Thanks for the comment!
Looks Excellent
@Mbcoinsnet Thanks and thanks for watching and commenting!!
Man, that looks sharp! No pun intended. Great video! Thank you for posting it
@DrShankenstein LOL!!!! Thanks and thanks for watching!!!
Please do make a video on wiring this in. I’m highly considering doing this but I can’t find any info about the existing wiring. It be a lot less intimating to see someone do it first. 👍🏻
@pentastarveesyx8506 I absolutely will make that video. It is on my list when I get the engine in for the final install and ready to start. Thanks for watching and the comment!!
Looks good I did my straight and wired everything to the factory instrument harness I have a Chevy service manual for my truck with wire scamatics made it easy
@allen cobbs that is my plan as well. I guess I need to go ahead and get a service manual on order and save time from finding the wires with a meter. Did you use a Chilton or a Haynes manual? I like Chilton bit if you say Haynes has better schematics that is the one I’ll order.
Man that came out awesome
@Cesar G Thanks!!
Came out sweet! 👍
@thisold hooptie thanks man! I was very pleased with it.
Great video DT!
@Burgess Lane thanks for watching!!
Can’t wait for the wiring video! Oh and where is the speedometer from?
@4xforlife437 Thanks for watching. I am pushing to get my transmission built and installed so I can get the wiring started. The speedometer is a GPS speedometer from amazon. Link below. Again thanks for watching and commenting!!

Thank you for the video where you got the gages
@Alex Negron you are welcome. I always put the links to the parts in the description of the video so that people can use the same stuff I use if they want.
Cool gauges
@Compactor Compaction thanks compactor man!!! Thanks for the view, sub, and comment!!
У меня blazer s10 ,тоже была мысль об этом... привет из Казахстана
@user-fu8jd9og2o My first build was manual steering and I liked that there were less leak points, a little added power, and saves weight if you race. Thanks for watching and greetings from Alabama!!
I'm restoring a 88 S10... I like your gauge set up. I'm doing a 350 swap. Are you in Alabama? I'm in Springville.
@user-zq2nd6cp71 Thanks! I have done two 350 swaps and loved’em. Yeah I am in Rainsville. It about 10 miles west of Ft Payne. Everyone usually knows Ft Payne because it is where the guys in the country group Alabama are from.
do you have a video for the 350 swap cluster that you did?
@user-zq2nd6cp7l Sorry I do not. That was before I started a UA-cam channel. The truck was an 85 model and I just inset the gauges in the holes that were already there. It was much simpler that this one.
Do you think there is room for a tachometer as well? Im doing a 5.3 swap in a 94 S10. Am debating on getti g the stock gauges to work or going with aftermarket. Factory cluster has a tach but the speedo only goes to 85mph.
@shadymaint1 if you move the gauges a little and use a smaller speedo than I did you could fit a tach in that space.
Did you find a wiring diagram online or?
@brandonpfeifer I have seen some wiring diagrams online or you could use a Haynes or Chilton’s manual. I haven’t got it completely wired yet, but what I did to locate the turn signals and high beams was hook up the battery, turn the key switch on and use a digital multimeter to find the signals that I need. I plan on releasing a video when I get to the full installation of the engine with all the sensors for temp, volts, and oil pressure.
Wheres the video of you doing the wiring?
@marquez1876 I haven’t fully installed it yet, but I will make the wiring video when I get there. We are getting close! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
@@dtperformance256 I subscribed because I just got my 2.8l running and out of the body shop so I'm also about to start working on the dash and other little things
@@Marquez_0607 Very cool! Thanks for the sub! I am getting close to getting truck running and installing the sensors to wire the dash. It’s coming….. stay tuned and thanks again!
Would you sale a sheet metal with cutouts ready to go for same gauges
@Zack Lummus. I could do that for you. It may take me a week or so. I have a few videos going and I am fixing to be traveling for work. Are you in a hurry for it?
@DTPerformance just let me know when your able to I would really appreciate it
@zacklummus7766 it’s done and ready to ship. Reach out to me with the details.
@dtperformance256 what is your email and thank you

Where do you wire the turn signal indicators to
@brysonhart6204 When I tested the turn signal indicator wiring in the harness that unpins from the back of the gauge panel, with the one turn signal on, I used a meter and touched each pin with a meter to see which one caused the meter to flash 12 volts. I did the same for the other turn signal. I do not have it fully wired yet, but when I get to that point, I am going to make a detailed video with wire colors. Thanks for the view and the question! I hope this helps until I can get the video made.
