We went to the U pull it

My wife,me,and youngest son went to U pull it today since they have 1/2 off price there on Tuesday and Thursday. We got all this stuff out of a 86 Bronco. 2 Seats lok like Mid 80's Mustang with the Bronco bases, Tilt wheel Column with key, and Dash cluster with tach all for $48.00.

I could be wrong, but those look like SVO mustang seats. Good deal on the parts though.

The dash cluster the tach will work with just plugging it in?

That's what I'm talkin' about! Gotta love the junk yard!

The cluster will work as long as you had gauges in it before and not just the idiot lights.

I have gauges I think there is a picture in my gallery,if not I can post one.

So far the biggest expense in my truck is the engine.

You can also just put that tach into your existing cluster if you are concerned about keeping the odometer correct. Although it's nice to have the trip meter too, but your odometer will not be correct.

You just have to use the circuit film from your new cluster. It's different than what's in your truck now.

I was wondering if there is a way I could spin it forward to match?

You could spin it, or you can partially disassemble it and move them. There is a thread around here somewhere............

I did the same swap and just left it alone. Nice to have the original when it comes time for cough, cough, hack............, cough, hack insp - ahem - ection and emi -haaaack - ssions exemption.

I took apart my odometer to make it match the original, of course after I throw in my other 460 it wont really matter anymore.

I have been looking for a complete steering column like the one you got from the junkyard for a long time now. Would you be interested in selling it? PM me.
