philcas1987 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 did you end up selling the tail panel? I still don't have a speedo in my car :o Dude at the swap snatched it up. Too bad the cluster is for singlecam. lookin good phil thanks. You're cluster is safe and sound. What you going to do about the quarter Don't know. James does. He said first order of business is to take care of body mods like tailpanel and wipers . But its not rusted through. So I'm guessing I'm just going to work with that panel. Quote Link to comment

Unless I was tricked . 68 USDM Dash 68 JDM Dash besides being rhd they are completely diff. it looks more like a 69 us dash but rhd 68 sss dash just has a diff cluster here is the side by side of the 68 and 69 sss cluster as you can see there is no way that it would work in a 68 usdm dash but can be made to work in the usdm 69 dash Quote Link to comment
