    I remeasured the '37 Buick inst cluster and I had made an error.
    The exposed glass dimensions are 9.75 wide x 4.75 tall so the e-gaugesplus.com at 9.9 x 5.3 is probably a match.
    New instruments, or upgrading the existing for compatable gauges are options.
    One of my motivations to using the '95 Buick wire harness & instr cluster is to have the system failure lights. Also will be using the '95 steer column which has a cable attachment showing gear the trans is in.
    I noticed that 90's chevy 1500 trucks have a narrower and taller instrument cluster and some also have the gear indicator cable attach point.
    90's S10 instruments may also be an option.
    1) Does anyone know what years Chevy 1500 (or if S10) have this cable attach point.
    2) Does anyone know if any of the Chevy 1500 (or S10) intruments have two wire connectors, as labeled 70 & 71 on the attached picture of '95 Roadmaster instr cluster?
    Thanks
