Muleman, First, thanks for caring/asking.
Hmmm...I THINK I got it from Chev's of the 40's. I wanted to restore my factory cluster but with modern gauge ranges as the original had like 0-30psi for oil pressure and I think 0-180 degrees for water temperature. It was going to be over $400 I think and at the time I needed to have the truck rewired so I needed to conserve cash.
I'm ok with the billet insert but it doesn't fit exactly right and I opted for the two gauge panel for a Speedo and Tach with the other gauges below the dash. I wish I had not. It's location currently prevent me from installing the cowl vent arm in its original position so I either have to modify that or move the gauge panel elsewhere. I haven't decided if I'll move them overhead in the panel above the windshield (not sure I like that), go to a billet panel that will mount all the gauges and leave the Tach out, or finally get the cluster restored with modern gauges.
