Instrument cluster information
Have not seen a discussion of this topic , I have a 66 GMC in the dash cluster there are 4 round holes, the top 2 are for turn signals, the bottom two are for warning lights. The lenses are missing for these functions. I am guessing that the top two were clear for the turn signals. What color were the bottom ones and what are they for ? Any help would be appreciated. Kieth

Re: Instrument cluster information
Not sure if this is the case for GMC - but for Chevy's one of the unused lights is for a "Tandem Lock" indicator and one is an "Overspeed" indicator. These were only functional in bigger, commercial sized trucks. here's one of the several tandem lock threads: http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=325247
For me, since my truck is a C10, I used a printed out "PARK BRAKE" on a thin film, replaced it where the Tandem Lock red lens was, hooked the indicator light to an extra brake switch and made myself a parking brake indicator. http://www.67-72chevytrucks.com/vboa...d.php?t=419932 |

Re: Instrument cluster information
IF I'am reading this right you are talking about the smaller lights that go around the speedo. If so the upper left is the generator indicator/color red, the upper right is low oil pressure indicator/color red, the lower left is brite lite indicator/color red and the lower right is the turn signal indicator/ color green[only one indicator for both directions]. I may be wrong on colors as I'am going by memory but I think that's the correct colors.

Re: Instrument cluster information
Here is a picture of mine. Turn signal is one for either direction. The lower right is GEN, and I belive the to top ones are oil pressure and temp. Only the turn signal is green all the others are red.

Re: Instrument cluster information
thanks for all the input here is what I found :
http://www.6066gmcguy.org/cluster.htm Jollys 60 66 website it says 1. upper left Generator warning light---------red 2. upper right oil pressure warning-----------red 3. lower left hi beam------------------------blue? 4. lower right turn signal indicator------------green I am guessing at the colors since all seem to be missing on every one I have seen I thing I will go to colored bulbs, paint the inside of the tube silver and see how it goes. Am I missing the color deal and the function....??? The above link also showed info on a sun tach and a clock for the large diameter holes which have nothing in my cheapo plain jane dash.........Kieth |

Re: Instrument cluster information
no like a lot of things specifically for the gmc'ers they dont make repros of those yet. We are lucky they got our park lamp lenses lol. What I would love to see if reproductions gmc custom chrome cab trim. i found a place that has several gmcs in a wrecking yard with them on but they are so badly damaged they cant be used without alot of dedicated effort.

Surfdaddy who redid your instrument cluster ? Kieth ![]() the reason I ask is because we had a test instrument cluster that we were practicing on, we tried soda blasting it and screwed it up, so now we are back to wet sanding the original, painting, clearing , and adding the black color back to the bezels and the ring.......maybe $195.00 is not so bad for redoing this thing.......ha ha Last edited by kieth; 03-04-2011 at 05:27 PM. |
