    This is what mine looks like: http://5hp.hill.cc/maverick/200000.htm The other side matches that as far as the sliver goes..

    Thats when it was rolling over 200,000. :)

    I think they went to the all black insturment cluster in '75.

    O.K. I see what your sayin about in the black part. So your 76 should be all black like my 75.
    I wonder if i can dress mine up with a doner cluster:hmmm:

    I think you can, but I would use one from a '74 if you can find it. The plugs and wireing changed over the years, and I'm not sure what years interchange with what. I know I couldn't plug my '74 harness into a '72 cluster. My '74 plug was to short.

    My '76 didn't have any interior in it when I got it, but I assume it had one that was all black. When I'm in NC next week I will see if the cluster in my '74 will plug into my '76.

    You could probably keep your existing housing and just change the gauges.

    Is there anyone in South America that can source some of these parts for us?
    I have seen one person hawking tail lights here...

    I would buy one of those dashes, stripped bare of course, just to be the only person here to have a glove box. :D

    Dave

    I wonder how hard it would be to check a dash into luggage?
    Maybe a vacation to Rio would be nice... yeah right!

    That is killer, I love the front grill. I really like the look of no side makers. Nice & clean.
