hey all, i'm in the process of restorin my 73 chevy c20 pickup 454 7.5.
most of which it needed restore'n is complete but i came to a stand still when it came to electrical, ive purchased a whole new wiring harness. everything is going ok while wiring the as per diagram but i've noticed it doesnt come with a cluster plug for the instrument gages. the original wiring on the truck was destroyed so i had to get rid of it.
so now i think i have to wire the them gages individually. question is whom do i contact that does or rebuilds instrument clusters gages?...please i appreciate it in advance. God bless :)

FYI - if you decide to tackle the instrument cluster wiring yourself, procure a used 18-pin I/P harness connector from a local salvage yard. To the best of my knowledge, new connectors are no longer available as a standalone part.
Refer to the 73-76 Instrument Cluster (http://www.73-87chevytrucks.com/techinfo/wiring_diagrams/73-76_instrument.jpg) wiring diagram and the 73 Wiring Manual (http://www.73-87chevytrucks.com/techinfo/7387CKMans//Wiring/X_7305_1973_GMC_Truck_Wiring_Manual_CK_10_30_Pgs_Only.pdf) (page 2) in the Technical Pages (http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php/board,5.0.html) for details. A plethora of useful information can be found in the Forum's Technical Pages. Or, you can purchase a complete 1973 Wiring Diagrams (http://www.classicparts.com/1973-Wiring-Diagram/productinfo/52-993A/#.UfVQzqy0qSo) manual.
