I saw a tach dash today. I'm not sure what it came out of becouse it had the fuel gauge on the bottom and where the big fuel gauge usually is. there was a big tach looking gauge but didn't say or have anything on it to say what it was for?

Never seen anything like that that was oem.
The one pictured has an air gauge at the bottom.

i could be wrong but that doesnt look like a fuel gauge, looks just like a vacuum gauge to me, they just wrote fuel on top of it, u can even see the numbers for the vac gauge id say it looks just like a vac gauge

I don't think that is supposed to be the actual gauge he saw, but a pic he titled with positions of what he saw....

**Ricks1971** · 02-27-2009, 04:21 AM

i'll try and get a pic of the gauges. thought it might have come from a C50?

**special-K** · 02-27-2009, 06:20 AM

I`m curious.I always wondered why the gas gauge needed to be so prominent.

The dash pictured is from a c-60 with an air gauge. I have never seen a factory variation where the gas gauge was in a different spot. My guess is it is a cluster someone made. Pics would be cool to add if you can get them.

that is actually a 10 - 30 panel with the air or vac guage added to it... or possibly a C/40 and up panel with the bezel from a 10 - 30 installed over it.
The actual plastic bezal is not the same C/40 and up. There is a difference where the column goes under it.
That's also a GMC bezal since it is tan.

Do you have a photo of the one in question by chance? It is not original, that's for certian.
