Instrument cluster dimensions on a 65 C10

So I’ve been building my 65 for many years now and had no clue (even though I’ve been wrenching most my life) how damn long it would take nor how much longer it will lol.anyway I am putting in the Holley pro dash. I am having a hard time coming up with the bezel money to put it in so , I can make a back panel to hold the dash. My dilemma is the materials are here at the house and the truck is at the shop over 25 mi away w/o a freeway to use to get there and I could use a little info so I can cut out what I need if the piece is big enough that I have. I’d hate to go all that way to find out it’s an inch or two too short height or length hell or both lol. If you got one laying around can u run a tape across it for me please? Thanks,
Stay safe,
Soda

That's pretty nice of you to share Conrad. Do you have any pictures of it installed with gauges in place?
Does anyone have one for a GMC they'd like to share?

Thanks Ronzo. I ended up going with American Classic gauges in mine, but here are a couple of pictures of them installed in the bezel.
I've still got both of these plates if anybody wants them.

Sorry though I don't have one for the GMC. Maybe I'll work one up if I can find a cheap bezel on ebay.
