Talking Re: converting instument cluster

I believe I seen where someone had used the cluster out of a 95-97 Camaro trans am installed in one of our trucks here on the board, just search for custom dash cluster or gauges and see what turns up.....

Re: converting instument cluster

why not just keep the original gauges?

I use a dakota digital speedo and tach converter in my truck with a 5.3 LS swap

i did not know that existed. so it electrically turns the stock speeedo?
the other guages just hook straight up? im not running a tach, was thinking about putting one the blank center piece.
