OR FS Restored non tach cluster - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Great looking cluster. Good luck with the sale.

Would you mind sharing the colors you are using for the needles, and tins? I only ask because I have read every thread I could find and the needle color that others are using is discontinued and or not the right color. I think several have used Plastikote "orange glow or Tamiya TS-31 but that is almost neon orange and I think that the stock color had a bit of red in there.

I just purchased a tach conversion and it is gonna look way too nice next to my faded guage needles, so I got to get this figured out.

Thanks, John

Are you painting the bezels or replacing with repos?

ChevyCruizer · 03-04-2013, 05:30 PM

In his first post...I have a restored 69-72 non tach cluster for sale. It is all original GM except for the bezel which is aftermarket...

So it is a new aftermarket bezel.

LOL...I do it too guys. As for the needles I use a aerosol fluorescent orange. I had the paint mixed to match at my local auto paint store for the tins. They did a very nice job matching the paint. Thanks, Tom

yfs200p · 03-19-2013, 11:41 AM

So if i have the math right, you could do a tach dash for $385 shipped?

jhiggy94 · 03-19-2013, 11:55 AM

I could send you the exact same cluster but it is non restored. Would that lower the price at all if i wanted to buy a restored one from you? Just throwing out an idea.

SLOW POKE · 10-16-2013, 03:13 AM

Suscribing for a later possible purchase..

Steve Cole · 10-16-2013, 09:04 AM

Just curious, how did you paint the orange in the "hot" area of the temp gauge without making a mess? I wanted to do this on mine but I knew I would have totally messed it up. The panels look awesome BTW!

gdavis · 10-16-2013, 07:16 PM

I sent youa PM on a dash cluster. Read it and get back to me.

Your cluster looks top notch.

BKSS67 · 10-16-2013, 07:20 PM

I would interested in a restored dash.

Please contact me via PM if these are still available.

Thanks!

A very fine tip paint brush from my local hobby store, some paint and about two Coors Light's (two settle the nerves) and your done.

For all of those who are interested, I have seen these gauge clusters in person and you will not find a better deal or a nicer cluster for the money, not even from me

A steal for $185.00

Tom does top notch work on these.

**HIGHWAY BY THE SEA** · 10-19-2013, 04:18 PM

How much to buy one of these WITHOUT the speedometer and gas gauge ? I want to keep my original ones because they came with the truck and are in mint condition . I originally wanted one of these with a tach but after reading how expensive those things are I think I will pass . And while we are on the subject of gas gauges I wanted to ask this question . When the key is turned on in the ignition on the lights that are in the fuel gauge supposed to light up so I know the bulbs are good ? Mine never do.

I could do one but it would be with a used speedomter. I'm currently out of the rebuilt speedometers. I will be sending another batch of them in for rebuilding in Dec. Just LMK. Thanks, Tom

**tll74** · 11-08-2013, 01:52 AM

This is my wiring plug that I test all my clusters with. The gray wire that the pin is pointing to is the wire coming from the headlamp switch. It is also in the "8" position. It should have 12V when the headlamp switch is on. Hope this helps you figure out your problem. Thanks, Tom

gdavis · 12-10-2013, 09:26 PM

Hey Tom.
The rebuit dash cluster came in today. I am very pleased with the workmanship. Guys Tom does a great job. The packing is top notch Gdavis

**DANTIP** · 03-28-2014, 12:31 PM

Tom,

I'd like one of your clusters when possible.
