Post TANDEM LOCK ?

On the dash of my 70 cst theres a light that
says "tandem lock" when I start it. It's on the fuel gauge side. Anybody know anything about what that means?

My guess is that your gauge came out of a tandem axle truck. (Dump truck or such).

That is exactly what happened. That is why it is important to use your old fuel guage when using a "truck" dash, since it will have the correct lights for a pickup.

Other lights may include "Overspeed", some type of air pressure warning, etc...
