Ebay Clock for 64-66 GULP! - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Keep looking on Craigslist and at swap meets, you might find one. That's the one thing about a clock. To a guy at a swap meet with a few non-working clocks spread out on a blanket, they're not worth much. You can do a quartz conversion, and you'll have a really nice clock for cheap.

Or you can build one using factory parts from other models. That's what I'm going to do. GM was really good about using the same or similar parts on multiple vehicles. If you do your research, you can build something cool for practically nothing. It might not look 100% original, but only a very astute few will ever know the difference.

I've always wanted one, but prolly couldn't drill the hole in the dash for it-I have a Unity spotlight, just can't drill that big hole...

Last one I saw was at Carlisle 2 yrs ago for $750. The guy opened the box like he was cradling a fragile baby. For that kinda money, I don't CARE what time it is. What time is it? I think it's time to get a clue...

Ok, ok, maybe that was a bit harsh.... By the way - I AM referring only to the price - I wish I had the clock!
