If Bills17n72 doesn't work out, let me know. I have a donor '69 wire harness that I have taken some items off of that might work for you.

I have a new reproduction center gauge cluster bezel that I never used. Pretty common to break the weak spot in the pot metal. PM me if interested.

If the poster did indeed receive the wiring harness he needed and is happy with it, need a interior harness for my 1971. Someone swapped in a 1980 interior, including the wiring harness and steering column, and I'm in the process of pulling it all out! Please let me know if there are any left!

Thanks for offering to share! May need some of that wiring from you! I'm not sure the cross compatibility between the harnesses until I dive in. I was even considering retrofitting LED's into my dash as well. What kind of aftermarket gauges are you pulling out?

old 80s bubba rigged temp gauge was working clock ran but lost time oil worked fuel bounced but that may be the sender it floated with gas and brake amp no good hoping that where I’m losing charge to battery. I found new reproduction gm gauges for 200 clock for 153 . Considing sending the original gauges that came with the bezel and housing I found to have them restored 160 ea. 8-10 weeks . Not sure it worth 800.00 I going to be in this dash 1100.00 with new gauges including restored tach and speedo bezel parts and blue tooth radio light switch .but it will be as close to right as I can . I m hoping to wrap the center dash up Sunday if every gets here than next week will be light switch and speedo and tach. What ever is left I Offer up

Oh man I know the feeling of the budget exploding! Previous owner retromodded my '71 LT-1 in the 80's and swapped in a 1980 interior! I definitely underestimated the cost of putting a '71 interior in! I'm doing oringinal looking/slightly retromodded with after market gauges in my cluster. I do have a set of crap OEM gauges in an extra cluster, if you need any oddball parts off of I can pull, just let me know.
