Speed buzzer?

What exactly is this speed buzzer? I believe my truck may have it, but unsure. If I find my wife's camera, I'll post a pic. In the meantime, my speedo has an extra needle that is adjustable by a knob at the end of a foot long cable that sticks out the rear of the intrument panel. I don't know if it buzzes cause it was set at sixty, and my truck never went over 45(inaccurate due to tire size) Now she's in the garage, getting a rearend overhaul...but saving gas , so impossible to check.

Speed Warning

You have a rare speed warning dash cluster. I have one but there are few and far between...hold on to it.

Thanks cwilkie, how rare are we talking? I love having rare items, but I love having a running streetworthy truck even more.

I have seen standard speed warnings go for $150, much more with a tach. That may be the low end too.

speed warning

A good working speed warning buzzer with the speedo, instrument panel backing plate, wire harness, and buzzer may sell for $300 or more. I consider them to be a little more rare than a tack but no where near the rarity of a factory cruise control.
