    Wow, 12 pages, and still growing. So many issues with the factory gauges on the 73-87 trucks. GM could have done better, but I think you already know that.

    Cluster Swap

    I know this is an older page, and I hope you are still looking at this. For the proper swap you are going to need a donor vehicle with the factory gauge package. That alone does not mean you are in the clear. Your original harness is not equipped to do this. A little make-shift work is needed to...

    Here is what I did to get my seating. $50.00 at my local pull-a-part. Came out of a 93 Toyota Corolla. The measurements were an exact to the bench seat, other than they sit an inch lower, and an inch further back. Just cleaned em up, and ta-dah......... Dude, put some Jap in your crap.
