Re: gauge cluster

the project im doing is a completely custom 93 silverado, older 350 carb block, TH400 trans, essensially im going to delete what i can off the computer and im going to fab up the 73-87 bezel to fit and if i can im going to use the original square body cluster, and if not im still using the bezel just all aftermarket gauges. and also would someone please be able to post pictures of a complete cluster on the back? i have a few for mock up but none of them are complete

Re: gauge cluster

Fully electronic cluster in 1991 squares, no tach option, unless you do one of the conversions that are offered where it drops in the fuel gauge spot.

Some reading for you.
