Are there digital cluster panels?
I was thinking of replacing my stock dash panel (all gauges) with an entirely digital one.
Has anyone done this and if so, where are they available and was is a simple swap without harnesses or extra mods and did it work the way it should?
How difficult was it.
Mine..1991 C1500 4.3L automatic no tach. 2WD

Re: Are there digital cluster panels?
I am also interested in this. there is something tacky about the stock dash and cluster. I would like to know if there are any "custom" dash kits or clusters made? If not maybe I should start manufacturing them....

Re: Are there digital cluster panels?
Look in the how to section in the Blazer forum I think I remember seeing where a guy switched his dash to digital and by what I read it was not that hard just having to take all the stuff off to get at it was the worst part.

I'm interested in this too, but not $600 worth of interest. Did any truck come from the factory with a digital dash? curious.

That is what the guy in the How to section in the Blazer Forum he bought a digital dash off Ebay for a different year Blazer I think and put in in his. Looked easy to me except for tearing out the dash.

Re: Are there digital cluster panels?
right, you can do that for a blazer.....a blazer came with a digital dash as an option...it was pretty much a plug and play application. No fullsize truck ever had a digital dash to my knowledge. Look to spend several hunderd $$$ on this mod.
