1960-63 had this clock, possibly into 64.

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.

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

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.
