i have many guage clusters if you need any parts let me know

oldblue1968chevy · 01-03-2011, 07:05 PM

I found a 69 70 @ the junkyard awhile back with 3 guages already taken off laying in the seat. Would that be a good starting point (i'll be gettin a new bezel most likely)

Id like to redo another bezel so my turck isnt down (its my DD)

67chevy1series · 01-03-2011, 07:07 PM

ya that would be good and ya getting a new guage cluster always helps the dash every time that and a dash pad i still need to get a red dash pad

oldblue1968chevy · 01-03-2011, 08:55 PM

truck came with nice blue dashpad

67chevy1series · 01-03-2011, 09:48 PM

67chevylongbed · 01-06-2011, 07:18 PM

oldblue1968chevy · 01-06-2011, 09:04 PM

thanks

possibly, i need to msg. the guy back he was suppose to get pictures. i need to know if he has a title and its on his truck he wants a big back window and the 67 rear small window looks cool!

67chevy1series · 01-06-2011, 09:49 PM

that would be so cool if you joined me and eric in the 67 small window crew!

oldblue1968chevy · 01-07-2011, 10:04 PM

Ok, I got a grommit for my heater box in the mail, should be here in the next week (yay no duct tape!)

And I ordered a 69-72 3 hole guage bezel (chrome/black) from Tim christian aka top banana I hope he sends some stickers they have a COOL logo lol

I went to the junkyard today, they wanted $25 for a 3 hole 69-up guage bezel. Seemed a little high (I just wanted to use the guages to restore and then swap into my new bezel that im getting, then install in my truck...)

Oh well does anyone have an antenna?

67chevy1series · 01-07-2011, 10:11 PM

i have the base of one but the rest is toast!

nice job on the bezel ,the stickers!

oldblue1968chevy · 01-07-2011, 10:27 PM

Base of antenna?

I have the antenna, but no cord lol

yeah i'll have pix when i get it and during the whole process too, i REALLY hope I get some stickers, they are pretty funny/cool looking (little monkeys etc etc lol)
