Red face tachometer question

a friend of mine has a 70's chevy pickup and he removed his oil pressure gauge and put a little tach in that spot i cant find the brand that he used (he did it a long time ago) anyone know of any aftermarket tach's that fit well in one of the small gauge spots? also anyone know of a good cheap set of gauges?

I've got a autometer mounted where the ac vent goes that would probably fit where you need it to. If you follow the link in my sig there are some pics of the size, I'll measure it when I get home.

I put it there because it was a lot easier to see. I bought the overlays from chevychic I think she still sells them.

Hey man I forgot to measure the guage and I dropped off the truck to get some new gears and other work done... I bought it from jegs, it's the smallest autometer gauge they sell. sorry man, I'll get my truck back in a couple days and find out what size it is.


edit: I had ac too, I just took the vent out
