C50 tach dash.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gcburdic · 03-07-2012, 10:47 AM

I picked up a C50 tach dash awhile back and will be installing it in my 72 C20 burb soon....do I need to change out the printed curcuit or is this a plug and go application?

Thanks for your input

Hi Geoff,

If you had a cluster with gauges and you have the tach connector with the wires it should be a plug and play. I have one I'm thinking about putting in mine too..

Pics when you get it in...

Yep,that's right. I've done this quite a few times. That's all there is to it.

Your warning lights on your fuel guage will not say the correct thing.

Tim...I kinda figured that after I posted this....so I am thinking I'll swap in the tach, tin, the lens, and printed curcuit then use my speedo, fuel gauge, batt, and oil gauges since I know they work....that should work...right?

Yes that will work.
