WTB: 73-78 gauge cluster
 
2 Attachment(s)
I'm looking for a 73-78 gauge cluster for mocking up some aftermarket replacement gauges for my 74. I want basically everything behind the clear lense & don't need the actual interior side 'trim' bezel.

Prefer local (DFW) if possible as it gives the opportunity to network & meet others in the hobby but will take what's available.

Here's a pic of what I'm after:

How good of a cluster do you need? Does it need to have a clock? I have several housings and gauges if you don't find one locally.

Gauges don't need to function. I really need all the plastic/tin housing stuff. I need one to gut it to fit the aftermarket stuff into so it fits behind the stock bezel.

I could use mine but I don't want to drive around w/o any gauges in the interim. When you get <10mpg, it helps to have an odometer when your gas gauge doesn't work!

Any pics & how much?

I Live in Lafayette Louisiana. I have those Exact gauges pictured. Does not work. But looks are in Excellent condition. I can get pictures if needed. Only thing wrong with the plastic is the piece i have highlighted in the picture is broken, so it doesnt show you what gear you are in.... I Also just purchased a pack of the White Gauge Overlays that you put over your gauges. Comes with all the different gauges, self adhesive and all. If you are interested let me know.

I'm interested. Pics would be good so we can make sure we're both talking about the same thing.

I remember there was a yard over off of I-30 & McArthur (sp?) that supposedly had quite a few of the 73-87's around. Post any info you can come up with.

Thanks guys!

Scoti, I have a cluster housing with most of the gauges out of my 77 you are welcome to. I live in south Arlington, but I work in Desoto if you want to come pick it up over here.

Sounds good. I can try & make it out next weekend (early Sat?) or I can wait if you're going to the board 'mini-meet' on the 14th, whatever works better for you. Let me know here or PM me.

I got mine at a place past Lavon Lake. I lived in Wylie so it was not a drive for me at all. It may be too far for you. There are e few up here in town if you can't find any I can see if there are any left up here.
