Re: how hard would this gadge be to install in my 84

It isn't as easy as it looks. The seller is full of poop. Its out of a C60 medium duty truck. They moved the fuel gauge to the tach as the small fuel gauge on a ck123 was located at the bottom left position. In a C60 it was used for a air psi gauge for the primary and secondary air tanks. Its not impossable....if you had the complete cluster...and the wiring manual for your truck and the c60 it could be done...

To properly install that in your '84 you'll need the plastic gauge housing and the printed circuit to go with it (which this seller doesn't have). You can transfer all of your existing gauges to the new cluster and add whatever gauge (if any) you want to in the lower left position. It's a plug and play operation if you have the correct parts. Incorrect parts and pieces means lots of headaches and sometimes will result in FIRE.

I have this type gauge cluster in my '84 and I've been involved in seven or eight other installs of this type with great results. The last one I sold was to forum member DBLSPRT68 and he was very happy with it. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=165904

I'm currently restoring one of these clusters with a factory vaccum gauge in the lower left position. It will also have a trip odometer style speedometer.
