These are repoped. look on ebay. you will need the gauge bezel, switch panel, lower section with heater/ac control, also the stainless faceplate for both bezels, as well as the metal backers for stainless bezel. Don't for get the decal of choice for the face.

That's where I got mine, but my time frame allowed me to wait for a decent deal. You may not have that luxury.

I do have some time as DD don't have what I want in stock for now, I'm guessing the only difference between a 70-71, dash to a 72-74 is the early one doesn't have the seatbelt light on the right hand return?

actually the difference between 70/71 and 72/74 is that the earlier ones have 2 holes below the gauges one for the tripometer reset button and the other for the clock reset! and the later ones don't have the holes.

Get a bezel that's correct for your car.  I.e. if you have a 70-71, get a bezel for that.

Then, even if you don't use the holes due to the DD gauges, put the reset knobs in there and hold them in there w/a screw/washer.

IT'll look somewhat correct then.

 :2thumbs: thats the plan, thanks, the DD system has left/righ/high beam indicators in the gauges or, you can choose to use the original indicator lights (three holes along the top.) The DD system also has a shift light output signal,,,,,, so, plan is, for my left/right/hb indicators, use the ones inside the gauges, I'll then put some bright LED's in the three holes and hook them up to the shift light output so I can keep the dash clean of add ons as such :thumbsup:
