Looks good! I was going to do a Camaro tach too, but couldn't find a 6cyl Camaro with a tach anywhere. Ended up finding a factory 6cyl tach anyways.

I'm sure the guys would like more details on the lower gauges.

Looks good! How about some details on the guages and making them fit? In the process you can get that 100th post!

the freightliner gauges fit the holes perfectly. no mods at all. you do have to saw out the plastic panel and remove the sheet metal covers. gauges can be gotten mechanical or electric. mine are mechanical. the design matches stock pretty well. ive been passing up 6 cyl camaro tacs because i dont know if they would work with a v8. i run on to them in pick a part from time to time and have thought about picking them up and reselling.

Wow ,,,, I like that !!!!!! My wife works for Penske and buys parts from Freightliner all the time. Do you have part #'s for those guages ,,,,,,, maybe I can talk her into gettin' me some !!!!!!

dont have the part nos on hand. dont know if you want electric or mechanical. if she buys parts for penske she should be familiar with freightliner trucks. i bet if you sweet talk her she could fix you up.
