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!

ok say you find one of these bigger trucks, what all do you have to take with it to make it work on your truck if all you got is the idiot light cluster and how do you know if they work and arent in just as bad shape as yours.
