How did you take your gauge cluster off? I want to remove mine to change the bulbs to LED's.

i can pull every bulb without pulling the cluster. my advice is that you pull the dash pad, especially if you don't have a tilt wheel. i have the 3 on the tree (and hence a rigid column) and it is a real squeeze wiggling it in and out. the top edge of the circuit board is easy to pinch this way!
all you have to do is disconnect the speedo cable (twists off), pull the plug on the passenger side that plugs into the board, remove the screws around the perimeter of the dash panel (on the inner edge of the chrome ring and unscrew the two big screws holding the little piece of sheetmetal that acts as a skirt around the bottom of the steering column. on my truck i now have to unplug the tach sender from the tach and yank off the vacuum hose too (just a push on connection).

Love the simplicity & Old school look of it.

yes....that is what i am after with my truck. a base model truck (well it is a C20 custom deluxe). doubt any 3 on the tree trucks came a tach. and nothing below 1-1/2 ton ever got the vac gage but you can add it easy and make it look right since there is a spot in the cluster for it. i am adding just enough to make it user friendly and beef it up for trailer towing (sway bars and all the poly chassis bits from CPP that will work with a stock truck) but it still sports the factory interior and even the stock hub caps!

How did you get it so clean? got a link to the car & truck shop. Thanks.

don't know what you mean? the cluster face is the original faded piece with cracked chrome. i just made sure it was dust free when i put it back together. the kit only reuses the face, gages, and i believe the small back panel that the temp and battery gages attach too. you get a new panel for the oil pressure gage to make it easier to mount the vac gage.
