VA Super nice restored V8 tach dash - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

VA72C10 · 02-11-2011, 02:17 AM

Has blasted and painted inner and outer tins, new printed circuit, new lens, new woodgrain bezel, new light bulbs, the best original gauges I had, and repainted needles. It's a 9 out of 10. The only thing that would make it a 10 was if the tach letters were brighter. They aren't rusty but darker than the rest of the letters. I took pictures (see below) after painting and as I was putting it together.....

Asking 365 picked up or 390 shipped in the CONUS (including insurance)for this. If you want an all chrome or chrome and black bezel you can take 25 off the price. (365 shipped)

Here is the completed dash first.

It's going to look better with the new tach....I thought of you...but it's a tested V8 tach....

here's the link to the needle paint...matched up perfectly with my best factory needles and the ends that never see the sun....

I am very interested in the dash with a black bezel. Would u happen to have a 67 bezel? If not I'm still interested. Also, how much more are u thinkin with the new tach added in?

I don't have a 67 bezel ( I assume you mean with the choke hole) but they do make those. If you preferred I could put a used bezel on to save you some money.....let you purchase the 67 bezel or use one you have...

With the new tach it would be $40 higher. But with a standard bezel I would still do 365 shipped including the new tach. I will post pictures in a couple minutes.

VA72C10 · 02-12-2011, 01:12 AM

Here you go!

I'll pm you payment details. Just to clarify the 365 shipped is with a used bezel. with a new 69-72 style black/chrome bezel and the nicer factory tach it would be 405.

SBC · 02-12-2011, 03:01 PM

VA72C10 · 02-12-2011, 10:07 PM
