A very unique find this weekend - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This weekend my friend found this piece on the local craigslist. The owner didn't know what he had. He had it listed as a 67-72 chevy tach gauge cluster. My friend told him over the pohone he wanted it either way and set up a time to get it. When he went to meet the guy, he realized it was a guy from eastern Ia that he has had bad dealings with before. With that said, this deal went ok and he brought the cluster home. It is a diesel tach, with a 80lb oil pressure gauge, and an air pressure gauge. The cluster came from a C60. What he and I find odd is this: The bezel appears to have never been changed, and it has a provision for choke and the paint is worn off the letters. So either this was a PTO, idle cable, or the bezel was swapped at some point. Some of the gauges have surface rust, but the main concern was this rare tach. Anyone have any input on the bezel tach combo?
