when i bought the truck, only oil pressure and tach worked. i re-did the gauges from scratch actually, including both gauge bezel and dash bezel, because it was cracked.

there is a bit dash trimming envolved to sink the gauges deeper, the black part of the dash bezel needs to be cut out as well, and there are two black light bulbs on the sides of the cluster that dash needs to be trimmed for.

then what you basically do, is combine your cluster with the vette cluster. use your motors behind the vette gauges, and your circuit board...

its as accurate as your old gauges were. needles need to be re-set once all done, and some lines blacked out so that you dont see them..

blazer and vette cluster, thats all...you arent going to use any of the vette cluster insides. the lights get unsoldered from the blazer circuit board, and attached to vette cluster with wires. on my truck i wired abs, high beam, brake, check engine, and turn signals..

supasoulja · 11-02-2008, 10:23 PM

will it work with a 95-97 cluster? do the two attach to each other?

i bet you they weren't these

immexicansostfu · 11-02-2008, 11:04 PM

that would be pretty tight if they hooked up to the 95-97 dash but doubt they will probably have to do the swap to te 98 dash and while doing that swap the vette cluster in there.

just get the pin hood man and windshield replacement should only be like $150 thats how much mine was when mine happened. local shop did it.

dont our taillights only have 3 bulbs though 2 for brake one for turn? there is four on here so u just wont use the forth or w.e?

sorry to hear about your hood and glass.

NYCBLAZER · 11-02-2008, 11:11 PM

i know a place that can replace the glass for you with a new glass for $120 installed brand new glass. its on metropolitan ave a place called metro auto glass close to flushing ave.. i did mine there a few months ago. the guys are fast and good they do it while you wait shouldn't take more than an hour.

NYCBLAZER · 11-02-2008, 11:24 PM

what really sucks is what happened to the hood.
i might have a hood latch if you need one and maybe just maybe i might have that dash trim also just gotta go look around for it. for me to go look for it, it's in my garage shop in glen cove, LI and i only go there on weekends. if you dont find witch i dought with soo many junkyards here in brooklyn let me know.
