Re: Tach dash for I6 trucks?

Look for a bigger truck with a tach ie C40/C60. a lot of the larger trucks had 6's and tachs. If you find one in a cluster that's not in the truck, look at the back of the tach. I don't know how true it is, but someone said a V8 tach is stamped "V8", and the 6 tach has no stamping. Mine has no markings at all, but the air gauge gave it away as a bigger truck.

Good luck!

Re: Tach dash for I6 trucks?

Cool! I was wondering because I never see anyone offering tach dashes for sale specificly for 8's or 6's. I was starting to think they were all just for v8's.

On the other hand, that's just one more hard to find part I want.
