Default Will it fit.........

OK guys- having tuned the truck and done away with the top speed limiter I ran into another problem. I bury the speedo at 100mph! I swear on a stack that is not hard to get up there at all. Been pokin ' around on ebay for an LS1 mostly for kicks, then I found a C5 'vette cluster, and the light went on.
The big question for you guys is- will the C5 cluster fit our trucks? Would be really cool if they did--------

no the dash is shaped completely different, sorry

you should get a denali cluster, it has a 120mph speedo and a trans temp gauge and white needles, everything else is like stock. since your making your truck like a C3 anyways

Yeah- I've tossed around the Denali/ C3 dash idea for some time, guess it just dropped outta my mind. Anyone else having this problem around 100 miles an hour? Problem is what do O do when I start aproaching 120MPH............

Where did you get it from and how much did it cost with programming?

i bought mine on ebay for about $200 (cant remember) with a cracked front lense and swapped my old silverado one onto it. the denali one has a silver birch/goldish color lense, also what surrounds the gauges, black in my pic.

no programming necessary for the tran temp gauge, just plug it in and it works i havent had it programmed for my mileage yet but i will soon, ive heard certain dealerships can do it.
