1960-63 had this clock, possibly into 64.

Heres some more

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Thanks guys! I was needing a pic so I would know what exactly they looked like, as I'm on the look out for one if anyone will sell one reasonable enough.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

also did the gmc's have these two clock styles as well?..I'm defianetely going to search for one of either of these styles.

I think one from a late 70's Camaro would look about the same.

pricey enough lol

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Got my factory clock installed this weekend. Fairly straight forward process. The instructions show 2- 1/8" holes, which is incorrect. The screws are 10 x24thread and require a 3/16" hole. The hole for the wires is 5/16".

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Some pics of the install. Its still in the fawn color as Im changing interior color in the spring. Will take some getting used to as it sits in the middle of the dash.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

looks good, if u ever run across another clock like that let me know.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Will do. I use to see them alot 20 years ago....they are getting harder to find. Corvairs are another source to look at.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Yep, i seen one in a '61 burb about 10 yrs ago, wish i would've got it.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Yeah, I passed on a few mostly in corvairs when I was younger. Didn't have any want for one. Now getting older and they are getting harder to find. Ive tried to find most of the factory options that I like. The compass being the one interior part that I probably wont install. The dinsmore compass's go for like $400-$800 and I really dont care for how they look/mount.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Same here, I'm not sure what the compass looks like? Do you have a link to a pic? As for the Clock, I'd take the fawn one or a black one..I wouldn't care as long as the price wasn't crazy.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Ive got a pic....give me a minute to find it. Heres the dinsmore compass. I have seen them in several different colors.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

They mount using the top screw on the rear view mirror bracket as seen here in aerotrucks 63. I imagine that running the wire acroos the cab brow is probably no fun at all.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

There are also several variations of the compass, this is the one that comes up in the factory accessory brochure

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Pretty neat. I dont think it would be too easy either. Can't say I've seen one of those. thanks for the info

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

no problem. hey...never know might find either in a yard one day, and at least you know what to pull.

I have one still in the original box actually. Dont have much use for it.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Here's what I'm doing--it's factory, but it's not.
After keeping an eye open for a couple years, I finally found a clock at the NE Georgia Swap Meet that'll work: It's a factory clock for something, but I don't know what.
I'm going to cut a hole in the factory Heater Delete dash plate, weld a couple studs to the back side and flush-mount the clock in the Delete plate.
My truck is a '61. I'm going to have heater control cables made that are a little longer than factory, and move the Deluxe heater control head over to where the ash tray is, then mount my clock in the dash where the heater control head was.
It'll look factory, but won't be.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

you might consider using an ashtray faceplate from a 60-63. they are alot easier to come by. for some reason, delete plates get scarse.

I think DTKarst is just teasing us showing us that clock....but if he has no use for it I got $50 burning a hole in my pocket! LOL

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Well I have a 61 K10 thats a pretty base truck that I thought about using it on but I plan on doing a factory correct restoration and it owuld seem out of place on it in my opinion.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

It would look much better in my 66 C20 ;)

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Yep, sure do.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Well, the nice thing is that it was a factory option or could be dealer installed. So if its period correct than it wouldn't be out of place. It'll take me a few days to get use to it. Ive been driving a 63 since i was 15, and we've always had 1st gen's around since I was a kid. 1st one w/a clock though. Just so use to the empty dash....but its growing on me.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

on 65 66 clocks they made to types one with rhe chrome ring around the clock face and one with no chrome . some thimk the non chrome was for the truck , but i think it does not matter just a change in mfg. mike top has chrome bottom no chrome hard see with reflection

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Chrysler 300M OE clock. :lol:

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

I think both look good. Unless your going to a concourse show where they are judging 100%, I wouldn't really worry about it.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

looks good. As I have stated early, if anyone has one in decent shape at a good price, I'm interested in it. Don't care if it's a fawn or black one!

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

Evan your looking for the 64-66 clock? Ill keep my eyes peeled. Saw one on scam bay awile back for like $450. I have seen the 60-63 style clocks go for as little as $75 (in original box a few months ago...was shocked that $75 bought it) to as high as $800. Some of these things get pretty pricey.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

I will take any 60-66 dash clock in decent shape for the price that one sold ($75) for or less! As long as everything is there & hopefully works. doesn't have to be 64-66. I actually might even like the 60-63 like yours best, as that's the kind I seen in a junkyard when I was just a kid.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

That seems to be the million dollar problem. The clocks pop up, but rarely do I see them go for $75. I would have bought the other won for that had I been keeping an eye on it. I do see them regularly go for around $125. Keep tabs on ebay for corvair clocks...best source Ive found yet for clocks.

Re: 60-66 factory clock pics?
 

These are two others Id look at for installing. Both are 63 models. The first is part #985581 and its for the chevy II, the second is part # 985348 and it was used on the bel air, impala & biscayne. Both should be around the same size as they were made for clusters.
