.....as of New Years day I now have 404 miles on my new GMC cluster....... I toyed with the idea of rebuild one of many I accumulated , even got the proper shade of paint from the hobby shop.....but then gave in to a ready built NOS one although I did need to get a custom cable made that would fit the GMC odometer fitting yet retain the Chev output for the connection to the T case.

Not trusting the functioning original working gauges, I retro fitted a vacuum gauge, mechanical Oil pressure gauge, mechanical temp gauge and a tach ....... so I can monitor what is actually happening under the bonnet....

Gents thanks for your assistance.

Here's some before and after pictures, I decided not to restore the gauge faces but to keep the patina albeit a little surface rust.

Soft soldered the holes in the bezel surround and re-chromed, re-plated the rear plates and painted the inners.

Looking forward to getting some good weather now to push onwith the cab rebuild.

Cheers,


Paul
