Re: Aftermarket gauges back to cluster

well, it took me a day to put aftermarket gauges in my crew, so i imagine half that to go back to stock. no modifing or anything, just bolting in parts that were originaly in there.
a bezel & gauge housing are needed, gauges, circuit board, etc. biggest thing will be how they were hooked up. clean job? hack job? wires run independently? or tapped into the gauge wiring? or?....
i went to the stereo shop & got a 15 prong plug so i can just un-plug & go back to stock if needed(doubtful...)
a cheaper way, & looks better (imo), pick up just the bezel & housing & move the gauges you have now to the stock locations, no wiring or anything to mess with, just some grinding to get the gauges to fit the stock bezel.
something like this...

Depending how much is removed I would find a parts harness, if your going back stock.
