Re: tach id
These "two piece" tachometers were available from both GM and the aftermarket.
 And here's an earlier thread with more of their history: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=392461

Re: tach id
why does this 5K tach have different "font"? reproduction perhaps? the number 50 is at incorrect angle.

Re: tach id
i guess what i'm saying is if you look at early sun tachs with same font the 50 is at a different angle, (they are at a slant to right not straight up and down) that is why i was thinking reproduction not O.E.M GM. mine is G.M.C for sur according to those factory brochures as they match the font of the numbers thanks again guys!
