Can anyone help me figure out what vehicle this instrument cluster might be out of and year?
Our customer thought it belonged with the vehicle we are working on but nope.
Thanks for any help

My guess is an early eighties chevy g series van.

I would be inclined to go along with an early G.M. vehicle.

Thank you for the help. So far looks like its from a 1970 GMC Vandura van, that its the optional cluster for this vehicle. Now to find the connector for it lol

Just a suggestion here. It sounds like (to me anyway) your rehabbing or making something for this customer. If it were in my shop I would work along the lines of getting something that fits both our needs. First and most important is getting something that I'm exact on what it is and will be able to work with it. The speedo may or may not be correct because we don't know the ratio of the speedo drive gear to the speedo head. The other gauges may depend on a thermal resistor and the % is unknown at this point. It's a basic cluster that you have but it looks like it's been kicked across a parking lot or two and the functionality is at best questionable. I've seen on a few of those reality auto garage shows that they've purchased clusters and all the fixins for builds that they are doing. The hard part isn't getting it to fit, it's getting it to function to your standards. I've worked on equipment, vehicles and whatever's where the customer was satisfied it was partially correct and was willing to take it that way. My name was attached to it and even though it was his I didn't want friends of his looking things over and seeing the item I worked on wasn't up to high standards and would give me a bad reputation. For the most part anything we work on in my shop is 100% or to the best of out ability for the most part.

I see nothing in LMC, maybe check Summit? They have a ton of old school goodness
