84 Guage cluster with TACH!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I cut the plug behind the dash so it can be wired for the tach. I've seen fewer of these than ones for 67-72. Could use some clean up but these are really rare. $140 and $10 to ship it.

Is the mounting tab on the left hand side intact?

hey fellas, i'm not tryig to take anything away from davidh cause it's a afair price, but always look at that lower cable guide for the gear indicator if you have an automatic. notice this one is broken and there is nothing permanent you can do to fix that. You have to find another way route for your cable.
whiskey- good catch on the left tab, a lot of people on ebay purposely dont show that ,BUT that left tab doesn't mean a whole lot. the way the lower part of the cluster tucks in behind the metal dash does not allow the cluster to move around a lot. You can also make a small metal tab bent 90* and screw it to the side of the plastic if you really want to. the tabs to worry about are the top two towers. they are the ones that are a real pain to fix if they are broken and they hold the gauge bezel on.
Tachs are very easy to test at home also. expensive to repair though if bad. crossy

You can get the back white shell part from LMC I believe then all the outer broken parts are fixed

Without tearing into mine, does anyone know if the speedo can be swapped out pretty easily on those? Since mine is in KM/h. It's no major issue to have it in MPH, but still.

Also in my truck I do not have the gear indicator either, so to me it's no major issue.

yeah, not hard to change them out. I've done it with gas guages before.
