In dash tach install
So I found this cruizing around the site and decided to install one. I also painted my gauge needles while I was at it. Turned out better than I thought. I am quite refined at taking out this guage cluster, as I have done it more than I want to admit. After it was in, I had forgotten to "zero" the tach as it was out a little bit

Re: In dash tach install
I originally found one on JCwhitney, but I stumbled upon this one at a local Carquest AP. I noticed it was collecting dust, and I got $12 off just for asking!

Re: In dash tach install
That's funny....it's the same tach I put in mine last year! I wish the 60-61 GMC's had factory provisions for a tach....
Your's turned out awesome by the way!
