I picked this up today for the ramp truck. Gonna make a nice full cluster for the Ramp truck. Took the speedo out and wiped it down and lubed it up good. Going to add it to the tach dash once the new tach arrives.

That's a nice three hole unit, is it a repro? If so where did you pick it up?

No it's a old 67 cluster a friend took out of his son truck and he gave it to me, yes I said gave it to me! The only thing it cost me was $20.00 in gas and 4hr round trip.

Thanks, yes it was. I'm sure they have changed the bezal though since it only has the lights & wiper holes. Tommy owned Tommy truck parts in Shelby NC forever. This came out of his son truck.

Will take the speed warning minder and swap it into my tach dash as soon as the new tach shows up. Hope this week. I took it a part and soaked the gears good with Lithium grease they move good now with no binding.

I think I had the most fun working on my gauges. Are you going to add a gauge where the vacuum gauge is located?

I've been think about this and haven't decide what to install as of yet. When I did my old cluster I installed a clock out of a 80's model truck. Wasn't to hard to do but the Ramp truck has a air tank installed for pumping up tires and such. Maybe a volt meter are a 12 volt gauge something just not decided yet.
