Re: lighted guages

Also is there a way to place a factory tach in those that don't have them or do some like the huge gas guage?

Re: lighted guages

If you want a quick fix buy a 3gauge set from autozone and mount under your ash tray then remove the light bulbs for the idiot lights.
If you want a factory tach you will have to replace your cluster with a tach cluster with one compatible with your year truck and install sending units and wire it in properly.
