Asked by Terry May 19, 2020 at 11:43 PM about the 1981 Chevrolet El Camino RWD

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

I bought a 1981 el Camino, and because of the cloudy lens, didn't realize that
there was no instruments behind it. It is a dash without garuges; but, a long
speedometer, and whatever goes on either side of it. Thanks.I don't have a
photo as there is nothing there to photograph.

You wont find this at any salvage yard. Your best bet is to try any number of El Camino forums and post want ads for those parts, some member there may have an old dash cluster just gathering dust they will sell you. You could also pick up a speed catalog like Summit or Jegs and just go with a new dash cluster, maybe even upgrade to a digital one. Then there's always Ebay.
