tach gauge cluster question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found a tach gauge cluster today, but it's pretty rusted. Pitting on the back and on all the gauge faces and the needles are not good either. Are these things still worth anything in poor condition? Thanks

yes and no. the factory tachs are pretty rare, a regular gauge cluster can be found pretty cheap at any junkyard...at least around here anyways.

Which junk yards? I'm looking for some parts for my truck and can't find any in the yards east of here.

I would say its worth getting....if the price is right. Joseph

If it has the tach in it buy it if it's right price for you. You can refurb every thing in it.

yeah i have one that i want to get rid of. I don't have a clue to what it is worth. I know some go for 3-4 hundred if real nice.

The one I can get looks a little to be a bit more rusty. How do you refurbish rusty gauge faces amnd needles?
