I was also under the impression that there were no clocks available as a option. I'd be interested to see what you have also.

I've never seen a factory one. Does anyone have a pic of a dealer one for our trucks?

There were no factory installed clocks acording to the GM books.

Basically either dealers installed a clock for someone or you use a camaro era clock or a viable clock from something and put it in. The inner metal plates I would suspect had to me modified. I paid big money for my first one i thought I found back a few years...only to see Ford stamping on the back of the clock. Ouch.....strike that original theory off...my poor light pockets You can make em look good though with some mods.

This pic is of one I saw on ebay done nicley I thought.
