Nice 6 CYL Tachometer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Livrat · 05-19-2009, 01:38 PM

Here's a nice, very very rare one!

I discovered while testing my setups that I had two 6 cylinder tachs.. and only need one.

This one has been dissasembled.. cleaned.. lense polished.. back tin was media blasted and painted, new chrome bezel installed. speedo and fuel needles repainted.. the temp gauge still sports the original orange color by the "hot".

Tach has been tested and does work, although the needle does occasionally stick while returning to idle (a light tap and it settles to 0). I have not tested the remaining gauges, but they should work..

The tach face although not perfect is pretty nice.. the Previous owner painted numbers on it at one time, I attempted to hide them with a black sharpie but doesn't quite match.. They are hardly noticable but if you look closely you can still see them..(See pic)
Included is a new black vinyl overlay to fix that issue..

$450 shipped...

Hmm.... tempting, but I will have to pass.

Guy's these don't come a long to often..... someone pick this up.

All the 6 cyl tachs are 5,000 rpms. The diesel tachs are the 4k ones.

I'm working on a deal to buy 10 of them and sell them for what I buy them for around $5 shipped.
