Clocks that fit in the empty space in the dash? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

69oldie · 01-14-2003, 06:02 PM

I would like some pictures of clocks that have been installed in that empty space (the "air" or "vacuum" spot) in the 67-72 truck dash. I have seen them on this board before. I want ones that look the most "Factory" looking and info. on what type, year, model, GM part#, or who does the modifications on these? Thanks for all your help!!

I think one of the alternatives was a console clock out of '60's model Chevelle or Impala. You might try using the search function for some more info.

I still need some pictures of this. I don't remember who had one on this board......but they posted it and it looked great. Thanks!

1971 Monte Carlo clock could fit the tach location.

I just bought a clock for my dash but have not installed it yet. It's a Camaro style clock. You can also use a clock from 81-87 GM Trucks.

This is from about 86' or so dash.

This is an early Camaro clock.

That's my dash that 70c10 posted - get the quartz clock from the 80's models - you won't have many problems with them.

wlee,
I was trying to find that pic of your SWEET bezel but I couldn't locate it. Thanks!.........Jim

69oldie · 01-22-2003, 12:47 PM

THANKS! These were the pics that I was looking for! How and who can "Punch" the hole in the black and green backing plate behind the bezel and lense??? It looks great!!
Your help is appreciated!

Here's the guy's auction at Ebay where I found my bezel - I had the clock upgrade added for a reasonable fee. He does GREAT work - Take a look! Lee

wless that looks great. I've got the gauges out of a 71 Z28 that had a clock and a tach in it - I wonder if I can convert those over to work in my dash?

I think they are the same as mine - you may need to find a circuit board for a tach dash because it will stretch a little over the back of the tach, and you'll have to cut the lens for the new guages.

Hmm - hadn't thought about the circuit board. Thanks for the tips.

Mine is out of an '81 Toyota Celica---fits fine with very little modification.
