Need source for gauge backing housing w/clock

[Ron Craven]

I cannot find a source for a gauge back housing for an 85 Silverado that does not have a tach, but does have the clock. Every vendor I have found only has the same two housings with no option for the clock. They are either the blue housing or green housing. Neither has the cutout for the clock. It seems my only option is to add the tack, and move the fuel gauge to the where the clock is. Does anyone have a housing for the clock that not brittle as dry twigs, or modified the one without the tack, to accept the clock? The PRNDL cable tab snapped off my housing, and it's been a futile search.

Try LMC trucks. You might call them if there catalogue doesn't have it. good luck

I’ve never been able to find one either. Even called several places like LMC etc.. LMC told me a 6 months ago they don’t carry one
Referring to 85 cluster backing like original poster. 80 might be different.

Unfortunately not- They (we) need 85 & 80 without tach & with clock.

I wasn't paying attention. For some reason I jumped to looking for just the bezel. I now realize you need the backing cluster. Apologies if I missled.

@Ron Craven , I would look around at some junkyards.
