TonyPaul, were did you get the silver overlays from, they look cool and would match my truck paint?

Im having some trouble with my GPS alarm and was told to send it back for a upgrade. But I really dont want to go back and rewire all that it took 4 days of wiring to install everything....
For some reason one of the pics wouldnt load, let me try again..

Great looking Cluster tonypaul. Iv seen it before, and it impresses me every time.

Here are mine, GMan69 and HartRod's clusters that I set up.

Mine

Andy4639 · 01-02-2011, 03:52 PM

Nothing fance, just a stock dash made by me. Bought a whole dash out of a junk yard with the tach and guages. Traded my orignal dash for a dash with the speed warning in it.

I see your speed warning is set for 100. I'd like to be warned too if I'm going 100.

It is a user set dial on the speedo (white needle) that you set to a specific speed and then a buzzer will sound when you meet that MPH.

Made all the dash panels and arm rests from a chunk of exotic hardwood.

that is nice, real nice. I wanted to do something like that with mine, but dont have that skill.

basemodel67 · 01-04-2011, 02:30 PM

Can anyone tell me why the heck GM couldn't use the same type of needle on the tach as the speedo? That irritates the crap out of me for some reason!

My truck has seen the 100MPH a time or two. Not lately though but back when I first put the 305 TPI in it.

Very nice... If I'm understanding your post - you had the rings re-chromed? How did they do it, did they dip the entire cluster? - then you finished the rest?

I've been meaning to get a re-pop, but don't really want a re-pop. You've given me hope that I can restore mine and get similar results that you got. Mine is fine, exlcluding the chrome finish.

Any additional information is welcomed!

Thanks,
doug

Do they make the 67 68 3 hole bezel with black face and grey outside lining

69Beauty · 01-04-2011, 09:05 PM

how hard is it to add aftermarket gauges to the stock bezel?
