No, that wasn't an option on E-body's.

A tick tock tack was an option on 68-70 B-Bodies.

It was a clock installed on top of the tach.  It's the gauge on the left. Sorry for the stinky picture.

Dodj, I'll get a pic this weekend when we're at a local show.

A couple of different angles.  The panel that the gauges are housed in is 16 ga steel that was trimmed and bent to completely occupy the space the normal gauge pack would.  I finished it with a coat of primer and Krylon Wrinkle on it.  It's weird to spray and takes a LOT of faith.  Practice on something else, first.

Stick one of those fender Pentastar badges over it

Is that the factory placement for the "road lamp" switch? Did it differ in different year e-bodies? Mine is on the passenger side to the left of the glovebox.

Sounds like a map light over there...

Also, in later years the resets for the trip odometer and clock moved on the ralley dash.  As you can see on my 74 they poke through the face of the gauge.  So be sure if you need to buy a new speedo or clock that you buy the right year (and the stock clocks are electromechanical and tend to need replacing).

   Also the later years ('72-74) the tach only goes to 7,000 RPM where as the '70-'71 style has 8,000 RPM tachs.  Some early '72 cars still had the early style Rallye dash set up so don't discount all '72 Rallye gauge set ups if you want the earlier style.

It is. My mistake.

So what's a "Road lamp"?

That's the 1970's way of saying running lights.  Those 2 lights that stay on all the time on modern cars.

Cool. Thanks Mike.
