My 87 is using a cluster from an earlier year vehicle and reads "Choke" instead of check engine and works fine.

Ok because my truck is originally a Warning light set up not gauges but i'm swapping in gauge cluster lol that and y harness has been hacked to sh*t :S

Re: Junk yard find.

7/86 would still be an 86. Usually new year models were September at earliest, usually October though. Every once in a while they get weird on it, like the "88" model trucks actually came out between 2/87 and 4/87 if I remember, Keith would probably know more exacts if he'd chime in.

And... speak of the devil, spooky huh? LoL
