Vacuum gauge
How many trucks out there have a factory tach AND a vacuum gauge? I have both in my 67 custom.

Re: Vacuum gauge
well, it shouldn't from factory. Vacuum gauges were only used on c40 and bigger trucks. Now there will be quite a few with them in their trucks as many hate the empty gauge space or have found these dashes out of the bigger trucks. Trevor

Re: Vacuum gauge
Yeah, it's factory, but just not on our truck line c10-c30. They are pretty neat though. Trevor

Re: Vacuum gauge
yeah, there are a lot of guys that like to put the air pressure gauges in their lowered trucks that have air ride. It is a sweet way to clean up from extra gauges. Congrats on the dash score by the way, I wasn't trying to be rude. Welcome aboard here as well. Trevor

Re: Vacuum gauge
It's cool Trevor,I did'nt take it as rude.Your right about the bigger trucks having the gauges.But,I always say,Ya never know what you might get from GM.A lot of those guys that worked on the line,if it came up next they put it on the truck.I have a friend that ordered a 63 impala 4dr hardtop with a 283 and got a 409 in it.He still has the car and original papers.

Re: Vacuum gauge
With all the car shows I have been too, it looks like most of the trucks that I have seen did not come with factory tachs. I might have seen only a hand full out of many examples.

Re: Vacuum gauge
Most of the trucks i have seen with a factory tach, didn't come from the factory with it. I would say, at least in my area, they are rare. Not impossible to find, but rare.

Re: Vacuum gauge
I read somewhere, that out of all the trucks produced from 67-72 only 3% came with factory tach's.
