I picked up a tach/vacuum dash tonight..
On Ebay. I found it by accident looking for C30 parts. Only 8 other people had even seen when I hit the $115.00 Buy It Now price. He had it listed "1964?-72 Chevy & GMC C10-C30 Tach Dash for Restoration". Even if the faces on the guages aren't great I could white-face them or have black (stock) looking overlays made. I friend of mine owns a sign shop, and he made new black faces for my tach, speedo, and gauges in my '71 GT-37. If I don't tell people, they don't know they are not stock.

It must have come from a diesel 2 ton since it has a cable driven tach.

 . I paid over $300 for the last one I bought, and it didn't look much better than this one does. Hopefully it will be decent. I'm wanting to stay with stock black gauges in my '67. I also wanted the 30 psi Vacuum gauge instead of the Air Pressure gauge that some bigger trucks had. I'm putting a turbodiesel in my '67 C-30, and I am going to try to make a stock looking in-dash Boost gauge. My buddy at the sign shop says he can make a reflective decal to match the other lettering, cut it mirror image (backwards), and stick them to backside of the gauge lens to match all the other letters and numbers. I rough photoshopped what I wanted for him (below), but he said he can match the font better than I did with his software. We think it will really look good.
