Gasoline tachometer -- GM never offered a tach for the light duty diesel trucks. The cluster is set up with a volt meter, small fuel gauge, 60 PSI oil pressure gauge and temperature gauge (all electric). They should all work with a factory pinout from a 78+ truck. The tach is stand alone from the cluster, as is the cable driven speedometer.

The idiot light that would require re-pinning is the park brake light. The factory pin connected to the light is for the seat belt light, IIRC. The choke light I've never actually seen hooked up before, and the 4x4 light is powered using an external harness.
