Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I'm no expert but from what I can find it is a factory tach......Maybe someone else could chime in on this ??????

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Me neither, just wondered. I thought I saw one in a manual once that was dash mounted. To tell the truth, that MAY have been where a factory clock was...either way, they look good.

Sat behind the steering wheel, made motor noises and drove like a 8 year old. Just dreaming!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well guys I've been Internet deprived lately because I've been trying to get setled into my new house. Last week I made my new rear frame rails out of 2x4. And ordered my bushings for my link bars on Monday. And today I rented a big trailer and brought the '60 to it's new home. Finally have a garage. It's a tight fit but will have more room after it's a shortbed. I'm just happy I finally have a semi warm and dry place that I can work on my truck in especially seeing as how it's been 14 degrees lately at night and thru the mornings. Well guys I get Internet Tuesday so I'll post tons of pics of my rear back half.

![]() http://www.classicparts.com/1963-66-...ctinfo/24-735/ and it works with HEI... yes that is the factory style tach, I really dunno how to tell if it is an original tach just by looking at the face though. I think the one from classic parts I posted is pretty much identical

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Yeah, I've seen them. I still just have the standard 'idiot-light' panel vs. the optional 'gauge' panel. I need to first convert to the gauge panel (w/the necessary wiring) & then can add the tach set-up. Of course, that one has a clock too. It never seems to end $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I agree, wish I would have thought about that when I did mine. I did the 4x4 thing, never again!

I checked into it a couple years ago. Think you need a Zener diode and one or 2 resistors to make it work. If you hook it straight up to HEI it will fry the tach.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
thanks fellas... but it was not my idea.. i just tweaked Solver's design to work with free crap I got from work. Yeah, using a 4x4 is a little scary...my 55 cab seemed much lighter so it was not as bad but the 65 was a little squirrely on wood.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Worked on my frame today for about an hour. Didn't get much done. Tomorrow I'll spend a few hours on it and get all my bracketry all done. I set up a tool to run in the mill to notch my 1/4" plate to fit my axle tubes really well. I'm really happy with the way things are turning out so far.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
That trim looks great. Mind sharing where you bought it and if it all fit good?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
It is a factory tach...I have/have owned several and they all look the same on the front and back. They are used on the six and V8 trucks, but I think they have a different setting on them between the two engine configurations, but I don't remember for sure.
