gauge enclosures

[bake315]

I swear once upon a time I came across a chevy resto parts website that sold the blue plastic gauge enclosures for our trucks, but have since had no luck locating it or any other.  As fragile and brittle as these have gotten over the years I want to believe someone is reproducing these, or that there's a sizable cache of NOS out there somewhere.

Anyone have any ideas?

Found 'em.  I knew I wasn't imagining it.  Apparently only for 83-87, though.... because of the electrical oil pressure gauge?

i think the year difference might be just because of the different year of trim options and a/c or no a/c and if your wipers are on the column, i would think that they are all the same fitting over the gauges but i could be wrong :/

I think you might be talking about the outer black bezel.  I'm talking about the light blue plastic housing that the gauges mount in.

There are subtle differences over the years with the electrical clips, amp gauge versus voltmeter, mechanical oil pressure versus electrical type, with or without clock and the newer styles with the VSS speedometer.
