Take the good with the bad, and today was a good! I will probably have a year of bad now but thats ok. Not a for sale thread, just showing what i found today. Pretty pumped up so i thought i would share.
Enjoy, Eric

**LEEVON** · 03-09-2012, 11:11 PM

What the heck? 5 tach dashes and a tilt in one day!!!!!!???? It has taken me a decade to find one of each. You are blessed by the truck Gods.

rcbildr · 03-09-2012, 11:13 PM

Cool!!! You should go buy a lottery ticket too.

teeitup · 03-09-2012, 11:13 PM

The guy had 6 of those signs that someone threw away. I had to do some real sweet talking to get 2 of them. He didn't want to give them up.

Awesome haul! Were the tachs in parts trucks /pick-n-pull or someone selling?

Jonathon, it started out as one tach in a truck i saw last fall in a wrecking yard. Finally went back to get it, and it snowballed from there. Some were in trucks and some were a private guy selling. So after a few stops and a couple of hundred miles it paid off. To answer your question, both.

Maxxd07 · 03-10-2012, 12:55 AM

Oh come on man, NO one gets that lucky, I call bs.

Na I kid, I want to be like this guy when I grow up!

kelsfine69 · 03-10-2012, 01:21 AM

BLAZERMAN · 03-10-2012, 02:26 AM

71 super · 03-10-2012, 09:20 AM

Better look again he got two speed alerts! What is the AIR pump off of? Sweet parts Eric!

**too much stuff** · 03-10-2012, 09:27 AM

Blazerman, i think the hooks will be on the next trip...
71super, it looked like a big block pump and brackets which is why i grabbed it. The pump is froze.

no moa · 03-10-2012, 09:30 AM

holy crap!! I wish i could find half that. Great score (i hate you) lol.

Vintage Windmills · 03-10-2012, 09:46 AM

Wow, Good score Eric!

ckexswb · 03-10-2012, 11:12 AM

Thats to much stuff !!!

**special-K** · 03-10-2012, 11:16 AM

Finding just one tach dash or a tilt column would make my year. I never have any luck in junk yards. The best I've done is a big truck tach dash. People just didn't go for those options in trucks around here.

big_al_71 · 03-10-2012, 11:55 AM

something is better to be lucky than good
