too bad it is a 95. dakota digital boasts some very nice clusters. are you looking at replacing the whole cluster with a stock one??

Well, if i can get a nice looking cluster that fits, then i would like to use something aftermarket, or even from a different model (like the escalaid, or avalanche) otherwise i would just remove the factory bulbs and put in those LED lights, and do a lil tweaking with the stock cluster. All my gauges work fine on the stock, just basiclly looking for a visual enhancement to liven up an old beast lol.

A little yeah, but not too much. Basically just started looking into this mod a lil while ago. Seems fairly cheap and can enhance the interior a little bit. Seams like a good trade off lol. Especially since the 95 Silverado's interior isnt really all the great anyhow. better than some, but a little dressing up would make a big difference.

An Escalade, Yukon Denali, Cluster will fit in with no mods necessary, You will probably be the only one( besides me) with a 120mph speedometer w/ white needles and blue lights in your ride. 99-2001 model are exact fit. I sold my 95 K1500 a couple months ago and the guy that bought it said that the motor was over revving. I told him that it was the chip set to a higher rpm for the Built motor. He had recently bought a wrecked Yukon Denali and told him to try and swap it. It worked perfectly. I bought the heated leather seats, Bose Amp and sub-woofer and center console for a $100.00 He had some problems witht the fuel flow on my old truck and I told him I would fix it for the Gauge cluster. I am trying to get pics up but I am having trouble resizing them.

You can find the gauge clusters relatively cheap to outragousely high. $50-$400. There is a guy on ebay that can reflash the milage from 0 - your current.
