Junkyard Find - Tach Dash and near perfect 78 Bezel. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

wedgemon · 04-07-2007, 04:18 PM

I had Good Friday off and hit the Carson City Pick-N-Pull. Must have been at least 50 or 60 73-91 Trucks, Blazers and Burbs!! Slim, pickins' but I did find a Tach Dash from an '78 Cheyenne and near perfect 80 Aluminum Faced Bezel. Also 2 Clocks - I need to test these, Two Dash Emblems, Two nice window cranks and a '80 wiper switch.

Some of this may endup on Ebay. We'll see after I test fit it....

I'll see if I can't post pictures, soon.

i wouldnt mind gettin my hand on the tach cluster

Great find! The Silverado bezels with the aluminum trim are usually pretty worn in those year trucks, especially in junkyards. Finding that and an original tach dash in equally good shape together is very lucky.

I picked up a 73-80 Custom Deluxe dash bezel in very good unmolested condition a few years back at a junkyard. No aluminum trim, but still a nice piece
