Re: 79 suburban dash swap

specifically what I need is the entire gauge cluster for a 1979 K25 Suburban. Mine has the four gauge pods on the left panel (oil, voltage, eng temp and one is unused). On the center console it has one large pod for the spedometer and one large pod for the gas gauge. I would REALLY like to convert it to the later (I believe 1980+) gauge cluster that replaces the gas gauge with the tachometer. I looked on egay and found a used one from a C10 with an auto for like $160, plus shipping in "used, as is, no implied warranty/guarantee" condition. Which tells me one or more of the gauges or the odometer are most likely inop. I'd really like to have a functioning tach and odometer so I can monitor my fuel economy a bit better.
I also need the actual plastic bezel piece that mounts on the gauge cluster. Also found of egay for around $100-150. I checked the junk yards around here, and there wasn't really much of anything usuable.
Also, if anyone has door panels for front driver/passenger that would be awesome. I don't have any power options, just crank windows.
