Since when in the heck did LMC start selling Tachometers????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

One of the main reasons I got auto meter gauges is for the tach. Now LMC sells them and they look original! Good grief just my luck. I am glad they are making them though. May have to build me another truck....

I replaced all my gauges about a year ago from LMC because I wanted to go with an original look.....just my luck as well.

I want one, but what do you do for a fuel gauge then? Also have dual tanks, not sure if that changes anything

motornut · 12-06-2012, 07:35 AM

you can get a small one for the left

I just got the email from them I think a month or two ago saying "We now have Tachometers for your truck!" I was pleasantly surprised as I have been looking to figure out how I will get one of them into my truck in a place that looks original that I can enjoy.

...now just to save up my lunch money long enough to get one.

I'm glad they recognized a need in the market for these. There's some guy in my area selling a tach cluster that he insist is rare as gold. I kept telling him its not worth $150 lol
Now it Definitly isn't.

Looks like these guys are going to have to compete now since lmc has the real thing and they have this plastic thing http://www.gmsportssalvage.com/?q=node/1318

Nope I agree. about 10 years ago I found a cluster at the junk yard with a tach asked how much they wanted was told 40 when I took it to the confer the guy said of this is one with a tach these are 100. it stayed at the junk yard

I wonder what re-wiring would need to be done and how hard that would be?

It's about time! Looks like my Christmas money is gone...
