72 GMC Instrument Cluster Lens
I recently picked up a new cluster, with an air pressure gauge in it. I wanted to get a new lens for it, but every one I've found does not have the air pressure gauge. Does anyone know where I can find a lens with the air pressure?

Re: 72 GMC Instrument Cluster Lens
You will have to find an old original, or make one yourself. Not repoped as far as i know. The air pressure is from a bigger truck.

Re: 72 GMC Instrument Cluster Lens
Polish the original lens. There are plastic polishes at the parts store that work great. The fine grit compound might also work.
Just be sure not to polish the inside, the letters will go away.

Re: 72 GMC Instrument Cluster Lens
I just rebuilt my cluster, the lens was so scratched I could hardly see the speed. I used some Mothers aluminum polish and a soft cotton towel and it turned out beautiful! Looks almost perfect!
