Tach cluster

Can anyone tell me if this cluster and bezel is original? Or maybe you can tell if some parts on it are original and some are not.

I got it in a bundle of parts I bought recently. I’m keeping some parts and going to be selling a few that I don’t need.

The cluster seems a little too clean to me to be factory, but I’ll defer to the experts on here.

Thanks Vinnie

Re: Tach cluster

Looks like a nice clean original, possibly from a blazer with a manual throttle hole.

Re: Tach cluster

Thank for the input.

It was pulled from a blazer. At least that’s what the seller told me.

Re: Tach cluster

An equivalent reproduction tach gauge cluster sells for $555. Personally, I'd much rather have a super clean original like yours. The only downside I see is the throttle hole in your bezel, although some people may want that. One other thing is your gauges are currently untested, so the condition is unknown

Re: Tach cluster

Thank you.

One of the members here lives somewhat close to me and has expressed interest in the gauges and bezel. He said his truck has the manual throttle so it would work well for him.

I was thinking the same thing about the working condition of the gauges.

Personally I would rather have an original part than repop, but obviously the condition would play a big part as to how much I’d be willing to pay for it.
