digital instrument clusters?

Post by dolinick »

Can a digital instrument cluster be made to operate
in a 67-72 bump? Something like this one from a
1986 Ford Taurus.

It would be cool to use this 67 bezel with some new
gauges especially if they are digital.

With a little imagination and a lot of patients anything can be done, but I don't have that kinda imagination.
On the other hand, I did see a posting about digital gauges built for these truck somewhere a while back.
Yeah, I know. I'm not much help.

That's a good question...I wonder if they've got something else in that spot, or if now it it's just unused real estate?
