Re: 1962 Deluxe Instrument Cluster Build

If you flip the guage cluster over, there are basically 3 main components. Looking at the back of the cluster...You have a pod that holds the tach, fuel and oil pressure guage.....the speedometer....and a pod that hold the ammeter, temp and either a delete plate, vacuum guage or air pressure guage.....or in your case a clock. The pods are screwed in to the back of the cluster. From the front looking at it as it were mounted in the truck....you have the metal bezel, a plastic lens that covers the cluster, a metal plate (which is what you will have to trim) and the cluster housing. They are fairly simple once you get into them. The factory clocks were externally mounted. Normally found on top of the dash in the center.
