It is using the guts of the S10, but the face and needle of the GMC. I am almost done with the conversion, turning out pretty damn good. I had to modify the odometer hole to accomodate the extra digit on the S10 speedometer and the odometer sits slightly lower on the S10 cluster, so I have to open up the hole a bit. I am also using the oil pressure, temp and voltage gage guts also, it is all in the motor harness, I may as well use it. I never liked the idea of running oil lines in the truck and the ammeter never worked anyways, so replace it with a volt gage. I need to figure out how to repaint the volt gage, but one step at a time, gotta get the speedo done. I will post some pics when it is completed!!!
