Default Gauge Overlays

Does anyone know where you can still find gauge overlays for our year models

What kind of overlays? I had regular white overlays in mine. eBay and amazon has them for like $20

UsSpeedo needles. I had to buy the face and needles seperate, so it wasn't the cheapest thing. Gauge face is made by Nu Image, Model # SS113. They also have it in red; SS113R.

Payed $120 for the face. $60 for the needles.

180$ for the best gauge face I've seen for our gen trucks! Did you have to remove the green tint behind the old gauge overlay in order to get the blue?

The green was already on the old face, so it was just a matter of removing the old face. The new face is 2 layers, the Stainless layer, and the blue backing. If I had to remove the green from the cluster, THAT would have been a pain!

I had been looking for a new face for a while, and was going to go with an ebay one. I stumbled upon this one, and it was an instant mind change after that... Only problem I had with install is that the stopper pins are a total pain to get in. I barely got the last one in, and it took a 1/2 hour. Was worth it though, I love the face and I'm quite surprised with the different aftermarket faces i see installed, I have yet to see another with the face I have.

So where did y'all buy them. I only saw one set on eBay and it looked like cheap crap.
