If anyone has a pic of an 88 gauge cluster, could you post a pic ?
Does the 88 have the same dash trim around cluster as the 89 ?

i can get you a picture of an 87 tommorow, should be the same or very similar to an 88.

Thanks for going to all that trouble on posting pics.
Did you do any trimming on the right and left side where the warning lights are ?
Looks like this dash may be easier to work with than the 89.
Thanks again for the pics.

The trimming I'm talking about that I did on my 89 to gain more surface area were plastic frames around each warning light area on the far right and left of face.

Larry, I am now the owner of an 88 Astro, and I'd be glad to get a photo for you, but the van is sitting at a friend's house 30 miles away. If you can wait until Friday, I'll get a photo of it.
Sorry about the wait, though.

that cluster is completely stock, the only modification made is the hole i cut for the red rocker switch that is in the area above the headlight switch. Thats for my after market driving lights.

No Rob, don't go to all that trouble. Is the 88 exactly like the 87 Justice has posted ?
Thanks again.

Skippy, I can't make up my mind if I really want to make up another gauge cluster or not. I almost decided to add a larger Sunpro speedo but guess they don't make them. I bought that set of Autometer gauges from suicidedoor86 to swap out into another dash but now I just don't know. If you can hang on to it for a short time and let me finish up a few things that would be great. If you need to get it out of the way what are you asking for it and guess postage would be around 10 or 12 bucks if it went USPS.
Let me know. Maybe if I get it I can make up my mind. Let me know how much to send ya and thanks again.
