The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Printed Circuit Panel

None of my gauges in the 67 C10 work properly. I noticed in a catalog or online from one of the parts ditributors that is frequently mentioned in here that there was a printed circuit panel involved with the gauge cluster.

Was that a stock item in this truck, or is that for more modern gauges, such as digital stuff.

If it was stock, could that in any way be a part of the problems with the gauges, or are the gauges most likely just bad?

Thanks,
Davey

On the 67 the printed circuit was stock on the light duty trucks. They can fail, and are easy to replace. Usually the sending units failed before the pc board. What isn't working? If it's the ammeter, there is one small fuse on each side of the radiator. If the temp or fuel gauge, check the sending unit. Oil pressure gauge is mechanical.

The instrument cluster is removed by lowering the steering column, removing the headlight knob shaft and the wiper knob and choke if you have one. Then remove the 6 screws holding on the panel from the front. On the back there will be one connector for wiring, the speedo cable and the oil line.

Thanks Fred.

I didn't know I had to drop the steerring colimn to get the gauge panel out to get to the gauges.

None of the gauges work. The truck has a Tach in the dash cluster, so I assume it was ordered that way. All gauges seem to match in appearance, so I assume they are all original. It sure would be nice to keep the gauges that are currently in the truck, but maybe not.

The padded dash panel needs to be replaced, and it has been explained to me that I'll have to remove the gauge panel to access part of it to replace it.

So, I guess I'll wait til I have the money to replace all gauges and the circuit board, just to be on the safe side, and the padded dash all at the same time.

I'm a newbie at this, and thanks for the input. This is gonna be a long-term project to me, and I don't mind spending a bit of money on the important things. I think gauges are very important.

I'll keep asking questions and listening to advice.

Thanks again,
Davey

I would first check and be sure the connector is plugged into the cluster. When your sitting in the truck the connector is on the upper right of the panel. You can see it from the floor.
