Hi All,
I and my older truck, really need your help!....
I have a 1978, Chev, 1/2 ton, V8, 350 pickup.
My old instrument panel is gone.... And ones I've gotten, don't work... AND, I've broken tabs off the housing of the instrument cluster.... A series of mistakes on my part!!
So, I'll get to my question... I know, parts are listed for 1973-1987 for this truck. BUT, there are many variations!
Mine had a large fuel gauge, instead of tach; and had no clock and no air conditioning.
Is it fair to assume that the cluster housing, the white, plastic part, holding the gauges, is the same for diff configurations in these years and that the only difference is in the circuit board??
Can I just find a good housing and replace the circuit board?
Thanks!!.... Ken/"kenner"
