They sell those on eGay
I think they run right around $300
They weren't very open to questions either....

I saw those too. Wasn't impressed with the look of the gauge pod. The thing looks like a poor fiberglass job. The gauges don't look right either. I like the tach though. Too bad they don't sell just the 7k tach.

I guess you could have a spare fuel gauge face re-screened for 7k range to look like that and fit it with a third gen F-body tach guts.

I worked on making a revised face for the F-body tach with integral oil pressure gauge to match the truck look but hadn't thought about putting the guts into a truck fuel gauge face so it would bolt right in.

If I had the stuff to screen print this would be an easy job. In the pic I had not clear coated the overlay yet so the gloss is off.

I messed around with making a stock looking tach overlay but ended up liking the look better with a larger single digit number system like the large aftermarket tach's use.

Now I am starting over to make this stuff work on a 67-72 cluster.

The kit shown looks nice, but makes no provision for a factory clock. I wonder if they have one for that application. It looks like fitting a factory tach in is still the best bet. jim

The tach looks good but the gauges are real cheesey looking pieces. Factory is still the best bet.
