61 Apache

Well I finally broke down and bought one for myself.

all original sheet metal, not a big fan of the colors.

crate 350 and turbo 350 trans.

I am looking for some information on the instrument cluster, I am thinking about putting aftermarket gauges in it.

Very nice pickup. I've had this set up since about maybe 2004. It's a Haneline dash insert with Dolphin gauges. Recently switched over to led lighting and it made a huge difference.

Re: 61 Apache

What gauge panel do you have? replace with a complete custom? Some on e-bay that are reasonable $$$.

Re: 61 Apache

Dakota Digital makes a very nice piece for less than $800 that fits perfectly in your Chevy dash. The fuel gauge is programmable for your stock sending unit and I have been pretty impressed so far. It was cheaper than trying to piece together all of the other pieces and honestly...its a nice cluster. Fully programmable and includes all the cables, instructions and sending units.
