7 digit odometer ?
I recently bought a 71 Cheyenne C20 for parts and noticed today that the odometer has 7 digits , 6 black and the white one for tenths. I looked at my 72 C20 and 72 K20 and a couple of other clusters and they only have 6.
Everything else on the speedo looks normal,,, but there are 7 digits. I've owned 7 of these trucks and have never seen this before. I just went back out and checked again to make sure that my eye's weren't playing tricks on me and there are 7 digits. Was this an option ? The bottom of the speedo face plate appears to be original ( not cut out ). Maybe an after market speedometer ? I guess my wife has the good camera with her, so , no pics tonite but definately tomorrow. |

Re: 7 digit odometer ?
What if someone replaced the original speedometer, with a later one that fit the cluster? What is the top speed that it will display? I know you're gonna throw in a pic or three, but thought I'd ask my questions.

LMC offered this about 10 - 15 years ago if memory serves.

Re: 7 digit odometer ?
Here's a pretty good picture of it . I'll guess that it is one like LongHorn man mentioned.
 I haven't pulled the cluster and really hadn't planned on it but I'm wondering if there would be any identifiers of the vendor. Last edited by 72 K20; 08-28-2011 at 09:49 AM. Reason: add info |

Re: 7 digit odometer ?
definately aftermarket. the screws that hold the face to the unit are closer than a factory unit. looks cool though. i would run it if i had it. chances are not many would notice anyway.
