Yes and no.
There are two seperate digital clocks.
One fits 1980-1982.
The other fits 1983-1986.
Although the 1982 you have is wired for a clock, and other accessories from the factory, the plug at the bottom of the dash (just behind and below to the right of the climate or heater control) is different because of the year differences above.
You will have to get a clock from a 1980-1982 that will plug in, with it's harness extention, or change the plug and do some minor wiring at the bottom of the dash to make the 1983-1986 clock and harness extention work.

Yes! Your local junkyard, salvage yard, pull-a-part....etc. However, be warned...I went thru 10 before I found that one that works. But at the same time, if you carefully disect it (you'll see the screws and tiny bolt-heads on the back) and spray the circuit board with electrical cleaner, that resurected several that I had collected. Be sure to get the wiring harness as mentioned above!!

Clock installation
The four CLOCK connections needed are
1) grd;
2) hot always 12v for memory;
3) 12v Power with key on;
4) 12v from headlights to dim display at night when lights are on.
Ground is Black on both sides of the wire connector.
Hot always 12v on Clock side of the connector is a RED wire; on truck side it is green with a yellow stripe.
12v key on power is Green on the clock side and White with Purple stripe on the truck side (or yellow/black).
12v dimming wire is White on the clock side and Brown on the truck side (or blue/red)
Let me know if you need any parts and I will go look in the garage... but I think all my parts are all for 83-86 trucks.
