Blazer no way, Whitey could be done but it'd be a Hail Mary.

Figured I'd show whitey some love and install a speedo I robbed off that parts truck I had this summer. I only kept the speedo thinking it was all I needed, and sold the remains of the cluster to a guy for $10. Turns out my cluster had zero screws holding it in, tabs broken off. One of the last dumb shits, for whatever reason really left a mess in there. Gonna have to get a different cluster and do some cleaning in there. Lucky Marty has one he gave me before that I gave back thinking I didn't need it.
Gauges look good. I need to do the same upgrade to mine.
I'm always amazed at the dirt that accumulates on that steering column bridge..
Should look 1000x better once your done.

This will be getting some new gauges as well. These old ones were toast.
Are you set on the late model font, or are you okay with the early font?

I have both the fuel gauge and speedo from my cluster and the '86. I truly just need a good cluster housing. That other one was missing all the screws and was broke to shit. I'll put new aftermarket oil, water, and voltage in the 3 of the 4 circles.
Don't do it!!!

I was just curious because I have a couple tach clusters, but they are in the older font.

It only had warning lights originally.
Easy to wire in factory gauges.

I sold her today. Not easily, but it made sense to. Going to focus on my Blazer. Save the shaming for a few days. Some guys down the road from me purchased it.
I didn't see that coming.

I made them leave the first time they came, then called them back shortly after to get it before I changed my mind again. Wasn't easy. Have a million reasons to keep it, and another mill to sell it. I'll never be happy bout it. My wife was pushing to get rid of something, and it was the first to sell.
It's easier to replace than the Blazer
