Found tach dash but had ?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello,
I have found a tach dash with a choke hole on right side(came out of 1 1/2 ton ), and I do not want the choke hole to remain. Is it as simple as putting a new bezel on to eliminate the hole or is something else involved? Thanks for the info Dan

if all the guages line up you should be able to put a new piece in front of the guages that doesnt have the choke hole. as long as the holes are there for lights and such

Thats all there is to it. Change the front bezel and your ready to go. It did have the printed circuit also I assume, and wires. It's a stand alone hook up it has nothing to do with the dash harness.

yeah everything is there and works just didn't want to see the remnants of a larger truck in my dash. Thanks for the info I will get it pulled tomorrow. Dan

If you check out my signatures you will see my dash. It is about 4 different dashes put together as one.
Everything is the same in all of these trucks except for the holes that some had or not the dashes inter change with each other.
If you are in the junk yards I would be looking for a clock to fit in the lower right hand hole out of a 78-80's model truck. They aren't that hard to put in.

Change the bezel and the gas guage to a 1/2 ton model and your all set.
