3-hole choke delete cluster?
what's the story with choke delete trucks? from what i understand the choke delete was not listed on spids. was it like heater/radio deletes that were deleted to save money? seems like the 3-hole clusters were primarily on base models (cheaper), but i haven't seen one with 3-hole AND choke delete, which i would think would be a regular occurrence with frugal buyers. so i was wondering if anyone else had info on them. i don't suspect it's valuable, but figure it's uncommon...

Re: 3-hole choke delete cluster?
I don't follow what you're saying/asking. Isn't the hole on the top right of it for the choke?

Re: 3-hole choke delete cluster?
My 68 GMC had a big block air, power steering and brakes, buddy buckets and a few other options like speed warning. It also had the 3 gauge cluster. I thought that was a little strange to have all of those options and then the lower level cluster.

Re: 3-hole choke delete cluster?
a speed warning 3-hole cluster seems unusual to me too...

Re: 3-hole choke delete cluster?
If it was the 327 in 67 or 327-396 in 68 it would probably have the choke delete. There was a metal bracket that could be used to cover the word "choke" if it had the round delete, and I have seen the tab that would read "choke" on a delete bezel before also.
And I have seen a few speedwarning 3 hole clusters.

Re: 3-hole choke delete cluster?
Well my truck was a 396 so I thought that is why it was a choke delete. I thought it highly odd to have a 3 hole speed warning. It now has a tilt added with tac/vac dash. Soon [maybe if I ever get to work on it] it will be a short 1/2 ton 5 lug instead of a 3/4 ton

Re: 3-hole choke delete cluster?
sorry for the confusion. the raised "CHOKE" letters above the choke hole were absent when there was a choke delete, making the choke delete gauge bezels unique. all the trucks i've seen with choke deletes seemed to be higher optioned trucks with 7-hole bezels. just seems contradictory to me.
