Re: Instrument panel
I have a 66 with the gauges and a large blank on the left and one on the right. I know a tach was an option on the right and a vacuum on the left. I would love a stock tach but the are way too expensive from what I have found.

Re: Instrument panel
Check around farm land for 3 and 5 ton trucks sitting and rotting. Many of these big trucks have the tach and air gauges. Picked mine up last week!
