I used Coley's instructions to remove my dash and they are spot on with nothing left out. If I remember right he even tells to install a tach if are putting one in.

franken II · 07-25-2018, 10:34 PM

I'm confused. The cluster is held on by a few phillips screws. As I recall you need to loosen or drop the wheel side of the column but it's all pretty basic.
As far as the guages themselves, the needles fade, and wiring (battery and temp) gets messed up. Oil pressure is a steel line so fairly simple. Speedo is a cable.

BAWAlex · 09-09-2018, 11:49 PM

If this is still available, could you please send one to:

alex1245@hotmail.com

Thanks!!!

Hers my cluster I did. I just took it apart and cleaned. Then painted the needles testors florescent orange. Super simple. And looks good to

darrellyates · 09-10-2018, 09:25 PM

I used the new Dakota Digital VHX gauge package. Modern, but with needles.

Works great!! No problems, and is sort-of stock looking. Will try to include a picture.

OK, this was during the build, but you can see the gauges. I think they look OK.

Good Luck!
