Instrument Lens Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Will a 81-87 clear instrument lens fit with a 76 dash bezel? What is the difference between a 73-80 and a 81-87 lens?

Mitch -

I compared the spare clear instrument cluster lens for my 78 with the used one from my 87; they appear to be identical. Keep in mind the obvious though if changing one out - look for clock to trip holes in the lens where the knob will stick out.

Hope this helps
