1961 GMC dash
I have a 61 Gmc but have never liked the factory gauge set up. On ebay there is a gauge cluster from a 64 GMC, will that fit in my pickup? We have an old 62 GMC grain truck on the farm with the same cluster as whats on eby so it should fit right?

Re: 1961 GMC dash
I am sure the guage inserts were different. 60-63 are interchangeable with one another and 64-66 with one another but not in your situation....some one please verify?? Maybe the GMCs were different from the Chevys...

Re: 1961 GMC dash
on the 60-61 dash incerts the face place (gauges) are mounted on the metal backing plate. The 62-66 incert (plastic part) are the same size, but you need to check the mounting mounts. I "think" that 60-61 small screws are in s different posistion than the latwer year. Should be an easy fix though.

Re: 1961 GMC dash
Jake is right. the bezels will fit in the dash but only a couple holes will line up. Gmc never changed that part of the dash for the whole run.
