This is for a car Tommy,.. the truck cluster is a little different. The cluster I showed in the pic he bought off Ebay for $600. Its in original condition and was pretty immaculate until the glass was damaged during shipping. The guy didnt pack it in bubble wrap or anything. Just put it in a box with some newspaper. Then wouldnt compensate my father inlaw for the damage done to it because of the shitty packing job he did. Then got upset when he got a negative feedback from my pops.

He really wants to convert the original cluster. If he has to spend another $300 - $500 to get the custom work done then so be it. He's owned this car since 1966,.. used to be an old street racer in Wash DC all through out the late 60's into the 70's. That car gets the best of everything. Used to run a 327 making 500hp NA spinning 8500 RPM and had a nitrous fogger ported into the intake runners. Today it just has a stock 350 with a 700R4.

He rarely takes it out anymore. I drive it more than he does. I take my wife to the drive in movies in Dade City in it. She loves it.

Thanks guys,

Hurst
