Re: clock install for gauge cluster
There's been some guys that have done it. Maybe a search on this forum might help you.
I've been looking for one to intall on my 68 GMC. The aftermarket ones I've seen all have the bowtie or Chevy/chevrolet markings on them. I'm looking for a generic one. |

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ghlight=gauges There's probably more. Search (advanced) for clock, going back a year in "all open forums". |

Quote:
I pulled the clock out of a mid 80's Suburban. The yard charged me around $5. It has two wires coming out of the back. One is black the other if I remember correctly is orange. On your bench test the clock with a battery. Orange on + and black on -. If it works, pull your dash bezel and disassemble it. In the open hole (the one that is a vacuum or air gauge on bigger trucks), install the clock. Run the orange wire to an always hot terminal on the fuse block through an in-line fuse holder. I learned how to make the hole in the clear plastic of the bezel on this forum. Drilling will probably crack the old plastic. Measure twice then heat up a nail with a propane torch or cigarette lighter and use it to "melt" a hole. Plastic polish to remove the factory painted markings on that soon to be formerly open hole and put it all back together. I have photos of when I did the work only they are not on this computer. If there is interest I'll find them and post 'em here.

Re: clock install for gauge cluster
Installed mine years ago out of a later 73 up model truck. No wires just spade connectors on the back of the clock. Hot wire ground and your done. Drill a small hole through the lens for the stem and mount it.
