Question about 1981 cluster backing plate.

[jmcclane55]

While working on my gauge cluster today, I dropped it. Broke a mounting tab off.

I check LMC, and I see years 78-79 and 83-89

Am I just screwed on getting a new one, or will one of the other years work on my 81?

The latter one should be fine. I've sold clusters online for 81-87 regular cab trucks and 81-91 crew cab, Suburban, and Blazer/Jimmy applications because they're all virtually identical.
