Pulled the cluster out of the 86 C20 I have recently picked up. It didn't have any gauge illumination at all, plus 2 of the gauges where inop. So stripped the cluster down and painted it bright shinny chrome. New 194 bulbs, replaced the fuses on the inop gauges. They seam to work now. It also Had a factory clock. It didn't work so removed it, replaced with SW Vacuum gauge which matches the stock gauges fairly close.
Any one need a clock for parts, Let me know I'll send it to yea.
I also scrubbed the metal dash panel and everything I could reach. Thank fully the truck was never smoked in.
