I can't say for sure but it sure looks close. That would look good too.

Hooking them up so they'd work would be easy. Mounting it so that it actually looks like it belongs is gonna be a PIA.

As long as it fits in the hole all you would have to do is create a "bezel" for it to sit in. That shouldn't be too hard if you use an old junk one as your base.

taking a second look at my moms 65, our trucks guage clusters are way bigger in width and height. :x
im deffinately considering doing this to the 67, just take everything out fill in the hole with sheet metal, then cut it out stick her in :D

Sounds like a good plan...keep us posted, and take some pics for documentation if you don't mind.
