Tach /Speedwarning Dash - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Solver · 02-09-2003, 07:30 PM

Spent the day disassembling a Tach dash and an old idiot light speedwarning dash to make a really nice combo.
Thanks to Andy4639 for the info on disassembly by the way!
Was a little nervous as I hated to ruin 2 expensive dashes trying to do this. There were some tricky parts but I am sure glad to be done and back together.Included a couple of pics

PS : tip : for the nob on the end of the adjustment shaft I used a rubber carberator plug and it fits on great

Now you need to add a Clock to finish it off . Looks nice

Andy4639 · 02-09-2003, 08:05 PM

I glad you got it apart ok. I have had mine apart and repainted it and cleaned on it so many times it's not even fun anymore.lad I could help.

Solver, is that a new bezel? where and how much $$ was it. I have seen some new ones where the woodgrain did not look right. But yours looks right.

Dropt72Shortbed · 02-09-2003, 10:07 PM

nice,

not sure why everyone wants one though. i used to have a speedwarning on my 70 buick GS, i left it cranked at 120mph all the time, it was so annoying hearing it go off, the most annoying sound ever... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

67cst · 02-09-2003, 10:09 PM

lol dropt- never heard one but i can only imagine

Solver · 02-09-2003, 11:00 PM

I am not sure why I wanted it other than it is a really rare option.
Probably won't even wire the buzzer into power. Probably same reason people want tachs ,buckets and other options like that. You know that 68 buckets are not that comfortable compared to the price of a newer style seat but it's rarer than a bench.In 10-15 years when you can no longer find this stuff available in junk yards and not available aftermarket--- ask the same question and I'll just say $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
PS hope I'm around still ---- wife doesn't have a clue -- maybe better tell her huh!

I am curious like 72addict. Is that a new bezel? If so where did you get it and how much. It looks great.

I made a post over in parts board about the bezel info. Was super affordable!! And quality looks better than any I have tried to apply woodgrain applique to
