swap meet gauges

[1968aj]

picked up this gauge cluster at a swap meet for $10. it is rough looking but I took a chance. I did not even notice it had a air pressure gauge until got it home. I want to plug it in to my c10 to see if it works. IS THE WIRING PLUG THE SAME ON THIS CLUSTER??. THE PRINTED CIRCUIT IS DAMAGED SO SHOULD ANY GAUGES WORK?? any input is appreciated. THANKS

Probably came out of a C-50 or bigger truck. Something with air brakes.

that is why i am not sure if it will just plug into my existing wire harness. The place where you plug it in looks the same.

What type of gauge cluster is in your truck now?

If yours has the "7 hole" style gauge cluster, that one will plug right in. The tach is wired separately from the printed circuit and will need some additional wires hooked up to make it work.

But if your truck has the "3 hole" warning light style cluster it will not. Well, it will physically plug in since the connectors are the same but it won't work correctly because the wiring pin-outs are different.

Yep. I have the same guage set in my Burban. The LMC circuit board when right on it and it plugged and works great even if it is flimsier that the factory one. Still working on an adapter to hook the air pressure guage up to the air tank.

if you are talking about the non gauge cluster I will not use it after I figure out how to change it over.previous owner put a separate set of gauges under the dash which I will also remove.if you are just needing a bezel I have several used ones. I will give you one if you need it.

The gauge wiring is different for the 3 gauge panel, it can be re-pinned, do a search here for how to do that.

I read those posts on how to rewire the pin. I am more confused on how to do it than before I read it. I will figure it out .
