Can you fit a 64-66 gauge cluster in a 1962? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I grew up around a car that had the sliding speedo instead of the rotating one and I've been wanting to get a vehicle with a sliding speedo for quite a while for that nostalgia feeling. However, a 1962 c10 fell into my lap and they have the rotating speedo.

I know the dashes are different, and looks like the 64-66 dash cluster might be a bit bigger (buttons are on the dash cluster), but has anyone put the later style speedo in place of the rotating speedo and had it look stock-ish at least? I will be gutting all of the wires while rebuilding the truck, so I really only care about getting the speedo to work in the beginning.

PS: the car I grew up around

@Rocknrod
It's not that I don't like them, but I would prefer the 64-66 style ones.

@62bagger
That's one of those digital dashes, right? I know Dakota Digital does a 64-66 retrofit that fits in a 62 dash, but those cost more than I paid for the whole truck.

The one 62bagger posted is the deluxe dash with gauges for the truck you have and is one of the best looking ones for these years trucks.
