WTB clock from 70s Chev truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I want to install a clock in my '68 Chevrolet C/30. I'm told the clock I need is out of a 73 to 83 truck. Does anyone have one for sale? Thanks. brad more.

I don't think the clocks on our trucks will fit your '68. The clocks fit into the dash bezel like this but I have tach in its place. http://www.geocities.com/abetterchemist/cab.html

I'm told the clock can be made to fit and it looks "right". Somebody's got to have one laying around. brad.

they ar not as common as you are thinking. the early pre 83 ones were not quartz and seldom worked more than a year. i collect all kinds of 73-87 stuff and i have a hard time even finding good quartz ones from 83 up- I have an early camaro one here also that is virtually the same size as the truck ones.

my 74 cheyenne and my 77 silverado both have clocks and you are right both of them do not work and i asked my grandpa (who bought the silverado new) and he said it worked for a couple of months and that was it.
