This seller has some interior pieces, including an SR5 instrument cluster - located in IA.

This seller has a lot more interior and exterior parts up now; apparently he is stripping/did strip two wagons.
He does have a link for queries.
The prices seem pretty silly to me, but if you need something... I could use the little pocket below the radio - but not for $20...

I have some Black interior pieces for sale too, just been too busy to put them on ebay. Pretty much the same stuff, radio cover, center console, anything inside that you find cracked and want to improve ill check if I have it. Just let me know.

those prices are obscene.

[ARCHINSTL]

AGREED !
I'm surprised he isn't selling the attaching screws separately, as he has broken down all else.
Gee - only $134 for the luggage side pieces, speakers, and their covers...
He does state "Make an offer and get it for less." on some items, but at those starting prices...
The sad thing is that when they do not sell (some have already been up before), he will probably ashcan them.

i made an offer for $20 for the gauge cluster and it said it was declined...like the second after i hit enter...then i raised it to 30 and it did the same thing.

While I have not chased SR5 clusters, in all candor, I'd think a working one would be worth more than $30.
On the other hand - $20 for ONE tiny 2WD hub center cap? That makes $20 for ONE 4WD cap look like a bargain. I'd think that for $80 for 4 caps would be a long way toward complete wheels at a JY...
And ditto for some of the interior pieces. His "store site" has a pix of a gold 2WD, so that might have some beige bits and a heater bit I could use - but I'm darned if I'll pay through the nose for them.
It's not like these pieces came from a 2000GT...

I just thought of something else...will an older gauge cluster (pre 85) even work properly in a newer car? does the diffearance in final drive gear ratios affect this at all? or does the speedo cable spin at the same rate regardless of year?

[ARCHINSTL]

I'm pretty certain that the speedos have different guts to account for the different ratios.
Butler Toy shows vastly different prices for the early vs. later speedo heads - $145 Vs. $163.
But you could just self-adapt; kinda like putting on a different-sized set of tires. Heck, Goldie's tired speedo indicates 60 mph with OE-sized tires and it is actually 57 MPH, so "I just add a few, Officer."

can anybody else verify this? i would think that when they re-desighned the trannys with the lower final drive, that they would have also redone the speedo drive to compensate...idk..iv only herd 2 answers to this question so far and they are both contradictory... im planning to go pick one up from somebody this weekend..but if its not going to work right then i guess i shouldnt bother...

I used Google Earth to "calibrate" my wagons odo...found that with what are slightly undersized tires...it reads around -1.9% below actual distance.

To recalibrate your speedo...you just pull the needle off and put it back on 3 mph to the right...GOOD LUCK.
