Re: 1990 electric instrument cluster/speedo

we all looked int othis before. the parts books I have don't even show it after 1981 . in the early days i swore there was no tach after 81 for that reason . if you were lucky enough that you had a salesman that knew RPO codes he could just check the box for U16 or whatever it was and it would come through. since the basic layout and design of the font was the same since 1980 it wasn't really a big deal, but your electric cluster uses a whole different PC on the back. before we could try to reference big truck, like C60's, to get different combos but i doubt any of the big trucks ever came with electric speedos because one thing they were never stupid enough to try was to put a 700R4 in big trucks. I'm not saying this cant be pulled off but I bet you need to check into the streetrod world to get a buffer or conversion somewhere. crossy
