Clocks that fit in the empty space in the dash?
I would like some pictures of clocks that have been installed in that empty space (the "air" or "vacuum" spot) in the 67-72 truck dash. I have seen them on this board before. I want ones that look the most "Factory" looking and info. on what type, year, model, GM part#, or who does the modifications on these? Thanks for all your help!!

I think one of the alternatives was a console clock out of '60's model Chevelle or Impala. You might try using the search function for some more info.

I just bought a clock for my dash but have not installed it yet. It's a Camaro style clock. You can also use a clock from 81-87 GM Trucks.

That's my dash that 70c10 posted - get the quartz clock from the 80's models - you won't have many problems with them.

Here's the guy's auction at Ebay where I found my bezel - I had the clock upgrade added for a reasonable fee. He does GREAT work - Take a look! Lee

Clocks that fit in the empty space in the dash?
wless that looks great. I've got the gauges out of a 71 Z28 that had a clock and a tach in it - I wonder if I can convert those over to work in my dash?

Mine is out of an '81 Toyota Celica---fits fine with very little modification.
