Looking for factory style tach?? - Might want to look here
 

Found this while researching a company to overhaul my gauge cluster that I have bought from a fellow board member. Looks like it fits the original cluster just fine and moves the big fuel gauge to the lower left corner.

I have no experience with this company, but someone may want to take a look. I know there is a demand for this.

Interesting...didn't see a price list on the website. Just an order form. Not sure if they really expect someone to order something without know what it costs first.

So... what does this mean exactly? Do they even sell gauges? I didn't see any but maybe I missed something.

Edit: Okay, found them, but I'm not seeing a price.

Sweet, I've got one NOS Tach and a used one that I picked up. I would love for the used one to be restored/reset to match that 7K one. That is awesome, it drives me crazy that my NOS one is what, only a 5K? I'd like to put a hot little 383 in my '83 when I restore it.

I have a factory tach cluster that I am having worked on by a place called redline gauges. They will replace the internals of my old tach and reface the original face so that I can have a 6,7, or 8 thousand RPM redline.

They replace the internals with a VDO tach and it keeps the factory harness style. Not cheap, but this one has the small fuel gauge in the tach like I have always wanted and this is the only option - or keep the 4000 RPM redline haha.

Jsut thought that this might be something that people would be interested in - for a stock appearance inside their truck without hunting down a factory tach cluster and having to repin the clusters.

Re: Looking for factory style tach?? - Might want to look here
 

I haven't decided what redline I want but it HAS to look OEM. I'm going medium duty with the small fuel gauge, I know there are a pair of indicator lights in the right hand side of my cluster and I don't want to loose those. I'd idly like to find a place that can make custom filters for the indicator lights. I wouldn't mind adding the diesel indicator to my cluster and having the filters for Cargo Light and/or something else in there.

I have a 86 Silverado it has all options except a tach never did understand why the need for a large gas gauge in the first place. In years past the larger holes was for either a clock or a tach, but as they say on a clear day you can almost see General Motors. 83 burban thanks for the link very useful...Vernski:metal:

Re: Looking for factory style tach?? - Might want to look here
 

Vernski - No problem

83GMCK2500 - the place that I am having work will use the original face - so that the little filters are still there in the end. What they said they do is they make a print with the factory font, shape, color etc - and then paint it on the original face plate. They also tone down the color so that it matches the older gauges in terms of wear and such.

I plan on having a thread made for what they do - so that future tach jobs may go simpler for others.

Here is a link to a board members build. If you scroll down you will see the work that the redline gauge guys did on his cluster. Mine will look identical to this except for I will likely keep the stock face for a factory look.

If you notice - the tach has the small fuel gauge but they changed the tach motor to a VDO unit, and refaced the tach so that it will read to a higher RPM than the factory clusters offered.

Here are the prices I got off the phone.

Reface all gauges - 400 to 500 depending on colors and style
Tach Motor swap and calibration - 200
Reface just tach - 140 (wouldn't have this cost if you reface all gauges)

I plan on putting a speedo with trip into my cluster as well, and he said that they would wind the odometer to whatever mileage I want for free (so it matches the actual miles on my suburban)

Just to clear this up - the link i posted at the top of this thread is not from the redline gauge guys - the services I am having done and listed in this reply are for custom dashes by redline gauges. The link I posted originally is for the stock appearance gauges that replace the old ones in your cluster.
