Almost all the C50/60/70 trucks I have seen have a 6 digit reading. They are also more likely to have the tach gauge as well.

starting in 88 they added trip meters, but most are still 5 digit, but I have seen the rare 6 digit. 6 digit in 1991, but speedo's were electric(not cable driven)

I have not figured out with any rhyme or reason as why some are 6(rare though) and most are 5, with the above exceptions.

I was thinking all the Suburban / K5’s had 6 digit starting in about 89’??? I’m having a brain fart and can’t remember for sure. My first thought when I saw his post above was that he probably had a newer cluster.
