Best $40 i've ever spent! (Tach cluster!) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Pulled this out of a Gentleman Jim GMC Sierra. Was going to buy the buckets and console until the salvage yard owner wanted $200 for them!

This is a lot cheaper than the last tach cluster I bought! Plus, it's a legit 1/2-1 ton cluster and not an out-of-place big truck cluster!

Nice looks good not a bad deal for 40 bucks at all

What else was left of the Gentleman Jim? You should grab all the special package parts out of it. BTW... that isn't a bad price at all for that kind of interior, if you ask me. I like my bucket seats and interior.

Should have got the buckets if they are factory, $200 ain't bad.

Agreed. Getting hard to come by.

If it was a real Gentleman Jim, then they are indeed factory. It's a super rare set up, but it's a legit bucket seat interior. Even if they needed re-covered, I'd say you'd be getting a great deal on the whole thing.

looks like you scored for $40.

It's a complete truck minus drivers window, wing windows and gauge cluster.

Seems like a Gentleman Jim truck that wasn't too beat up and was fairly complete would be a good restoration candidate...They're rare and highly optioned with some good creature comforts...
