Installing a Tach in a '64-66 Chevy Truck

That article has pictures on how to take out the instrument panel.

Take your time and check everything on the back is disconnected, before you yank on it.

a few image of my instrument panel, out of the truck, it will give you an idea of what all is back there

Good luck,

Are you wanting to remove your instrument panel? The outer bezel is secured to the panel with small bolts from the back side.
Ignition Switch-
Put in key, then depress pin through the small hole with a paperclip. Turn slightly to the left and the key cylinder should pull out.
Then you can unscrew the bezel around the switch and it can be removed.
Nuts around switches-
Remove knobs and then with a small punch or screwdriver- GENTLY tap one of the slots to move it in a counter clockwise motion. After initial loosening it should be able to hand screwed out.
If you are wanting to pull the whole panel- you will need to remove all the switches- Light, Wiper and Cig lighter first. Just did that tonifgt on my '66.
12V Pug- ????
