Looks like it's part of the tach near the bottom.

Oh I see. Thanks for pointing that out!

sailed2japan · 05-16-2009, 05:47 AM

Is that up for sale?

It may be if thirdstreettito decides he doesn't want it.

thirdstreettito · 05-16-2009, 04:29 PM

I want it, but I'm saving up the $$ as fast as I can.

AdrianR · 05-16-2009, 06:15 PM

What model truck did that cluster come from? Looks perfect for an idea I have...

b454rat · 05-16-2009, 10:20 PM

Out of a 70s big truck, C50-60 etc. Can't tell if it was a deisel or not, almost want to say a 6 banger with a 4k redline. I'm not an expert, but did GM even have a diesel in the 70s???

Detroit Diesel. GMC Diesel.

**too much stuff** · 05-16-2009, 11:31 PM

I believe the 6 cylinders have a 5,000 rpm tach just like the v-8s.
This may have come from an 80s truck judging by the font on the gauge faces. Definately not a common set-up...

b454rat · 05-17-2009, 08:55 AM

I thought 80s too, but has amps gauge instead of volts, thought that went out in the late 70s?? But has electrical oil gauge...

mal68ibu · 05-17-2009, 10:56 AM

plastic needles didn't come into play until 81. I would think the amp gauge makes more sense for a diesel as a drop in volts will not kill the engine. But looking at the printed circuit you may be able swap the amp gauge out for a volt gauge.

My two cents.

sailed2japan · 05-18-2009, 10:46 AM

If thirdstreet doesn't pickit up, Consider me 2nd in line PM me with a price.
Thanks!

kevinr1970 · 05-18-2009, 12:48 PM

The "font" of the lettering on the gauges tells me it is from a 70's truck.

bigblock73 · 05-18-2009, 12:57 PM

It is a 70's cluster, for sure.

thirdstreettito · 05-20-2009, 12:24 AM

Go ahead and sell it to bb73... I can come up with the money quick enough. I really want it though.

Chevrolet4x4s · 05-25-2009, 10:17 PM

WOW I've never seen one of those before.
Would be great for the twin turbo 6.5 project that keeps getting pushed to the back burner.

b454rat · 11-19-2009, 11:34 PM

Just got informed on this thread, forgot about it. Are you sure this is a diesel cluster?? Correct me if I'm wrong, but how can a diesel have a vacuum gauge?? Also I'd think it would say diesel fuel only on the gauge...

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-20-2009, 10:32 PM

Diesels have vacuum pumps bolted on them driven via a belt or gear to produce vacuum to operate accessories.

b454rat · 11-20-2009, 10:37 PM

The newer ones have these, but didn't think the older ones did. Just find it odd that it has that...

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-20-2009, 10:39 PM

Is this still for sale?
