Tach questions
Wanting to add a tach dash in my truck...found one in a 77 but my truck is an 84....will it work? If not what years do I need to be looking in?

Re: Tach questions
Yes it should but it won't look... "Right" 81-87 has different fonts if you look closely so it'll be odd. But i'm ocd. Just pull the wiring and rock on!

Re: Tach questions
Do you have a pic of the difference? I'm OCD also....but usually only mess with 67-72 trucks so I don't know much about these....it has a 454 also will that affect it?

Re: Tach questions
They comee out of the big truck like the c 60 n c70 series because in the bottomleft where the fuel gauge was they had the air pressure guage so they moved the gas one to inside the tach, kinda like some camaro's if i remember right. Only way to get one is used pretty sure. Trip odometer is just option specific.

Re: Tach questions
Only reason I didn't go factory, is cause then it looks like you got two speedometers in there. Autometer pro comp series bears a strong resemblance to factory, so I went with that instead.
