Yeah that came out of a 73-77 C60 heavy duty truck. the fuel gauge was intigrated into the bottom of the tach which is now living in my Suburban. As I understand it (and I could be wrong) the trucks that had gas engines had vacuum assisted power brakes just like our vehicles do. And the ones with the diesels had an air brake system on them like a Semi truck has had an air pressure gauge. So since I installed a set of Locomotive air horns under my hood I wanted to monitor the air pressure in the system.
Check it out in my sig at the bottom.

I think they're fairly common in the larger trucks. I just got it in the mail and it looks like brand new.
Driving habits are going to change a bit from here on out....drive to the high needle.
