You don't see this tachometer everyday
 

Was this used in the larger trucks? It is a tach drive off the distributor:chevy:

Interesting.....I only knew of the vettes to have cable tach drives off the dizzy.

It is probably for a diesel. But it wouldn't have driven off a distributor.

I'VE HAD DIESEL TACH.S THAT ONLY WENT UP TO FOUR GRAND. THE ONLY CABLE DRIVEN TACH.S THAT I KNOW OF WERE ON VETTES. MAYBE OFF OF A BIG GAS ENGINE TRUCK?? :chevy: JOHN

If you look close at the markings on this tach, you will see that this is a 4 grand tach! I have the 4 grand tach lens laying around here somewhere. I've only seen one other one in 30 years of haven fun with these trucks!:chevy:

Man.... did you find all of those in MO? :D

What a collection as I see another cabinet just to the left of the gray one.

MO ILL ARK where ever you can imagine, swap meets, junkyards, craigslist, ebay. In the 80s and 90s there were 2 or 3 these trucks in the junkyards a week, now 2 or 3 a year! I'm almost depressed:waah:

Curious what else you have tucked away up there in St Peters. :D

My head hurts,I can't think of anything else:hh:

:lol: We wouldn't want an overdose now would we? :lol:

Re: You don't see this tachometer everyday
 

That is a 4 grand diesel tach from a bigger truck. There were actually 2 versions of this that had different redlines. 2800, or 3200 rpms... You are right, you don't see them very often. I have a few of them tucked away myself...

It is probably off a diesel. Both the Detroit 4-53 (2800 r.p.m.) and the Toroflow (3200 r.p.m.) used mechanical tachometers. The GMC V-6's also have a provision for a mechanical tach. drive off the back of the camshaft, but it was only used on certain heavy trucks. Pickups always had electric tachometers.
