Cluster Modification

Ok. But it's going in a cluster from a 79.  So it should still work fine right?

I just had a thought guys. Is there a certain special model of vehicle or truck that has a transmission temp gauge that matches the gauges on these trucks. If so, I thought I could put a trans temp gauge where the small fuel gauge normally goes and then use a medium duty, tach/fuel combo gauge next to the speedo. I want too keep the cluster all factory looking.

Just wanted to let you all know that on the above ebay link, the small, NOS fuel gauge, I pulled the trigger on it and won the auction. 36 dollars, will update on it when it arrives, should ship tomorrow.

Gauge arrived this morning. It all looks period correct except for 1 thing, the needle is plastic and it's cracked. Not sure why it's plastic. Not sure if it's a GM replacement or reproduction because everything else on it looks legit. I will post a few pics as soon as I'm done eating lunch. I might just glue the needle and repaint to match. At least it was cheap, doesn't look like it's ever been used.

Here we are.


The crack.
