Instrument Cluster

[Raven Rider]

I received 2 extra Instrument clusters in the pile of extra parts I got when I bought my Ranch Wagon.  My question is one of the two extra IC is red with white face gauges instead of black with black face gauges like the one in the RW and the other one is blue with black face gauges.  What model used the white face gauges?  I like the white face gauges  and I'm thinking about swapping it out and it is better shape than the other two.

Cool thanks I like the white gauges

I have my instrument cluster separated and I need to clean the front plastic parts that have the numbers on it.  How do I  separate the semi circle plastic piece that has the speedometer numbers from the metal piece?

Jerry...I'm trying to remember a few years back when 57Agin was looking for some tiny little clips for the gage cluster. I pulled them off my panel I wasn't using, and if I remember correctly those little spring clips are what holds the plastic's metal retainer in..not sure what else they'd have been for....I'll try to find some pics. They are no longer than 1/4". Don't lose yours!

I see those so I will mess around and see if I can figure it out thanks Rich.
