quick questions, will an 81-87 gauge cluster work on my 76 c10? any wiring issues? also my truck doesn't originally have the clock in the gauges but the cluster I'm looking at does. what do I need to know about that?

thanks

You'll have to re-pin the instrument panel connector to match the new panel.

You'll have to add a wire for the oil pressure gauge unless you have idiot lamps.

The clocks and tachs use a separate harness for each.

thank you for a very specific answer. I really appreciate it.

For me it's either up to an $800 Dakota digital or a $200 ebay cluster.

hm....decisions.

Does the Dakota digital panel include the ESS electronic speedometer sender?

Im looking at the VHX analog gauges. It says that it includes the 16k ppm sensor with the harness.
