Technically that's an FC cluster as it has the holes for the gauge surround. Still looks pretty cool though.

thats very similar to the way i have done mine.
except mine dial faces are silver  ;)

[oldschoolfc]

he seems to be only selling the actual gauges not the surround so i guess it would suit either model? or ar ethe speedo heads different?

looks like it could be a 53 chev speedo.

   I don't think the speedo heads are different because when I was about 16 (30 odd years ago ) a mate and I fitted a FB speedo into an  FC.
The FC one died and we had a couple of FB's  lying around. If I remember correctly it fitted in like a factory FC one , with no prob's at all.

FE- FC are the same as some chevs, fb-ek have a orange band that goes around instead of a needle, hr i am sure also goes in but looks different again.

what i want to know is does 59-60 elcamino and impala speedo's go straight in and do they need to be recalorbrated if they can be and does it use the early holden cable end,
 anyone know or do i have to buy one to find out?

It's stock standard FE/FC gauges that have been painted white, with blue globes added.
Easy to do, just a bit fiddly, but with the cost of some paint and some decals for the fuel and warning lights, very simple and not too costly.

can the warning light stickers still be had?
i suppose rares would put them out or do i try and find NOS items?

There are both decal and replacement glass options available.  The former were being done by John W in the Vic Club, the latter by Phil Illfield in NSW (PM me for his details, Ken might have current contact details for John).
