Be careful buying the reproduction ones. At least some of them are made incorrectly and the speedometer doesn't fit without modifications. I don't know if it has been corrected or not....

Ok thanks, I didn't know they made reproductions. Was looking for original equipment.

Re: WTB rear tach tin

I ran into the problem LockDoc mentioned about the incorrectly made reproduction rear tin. I ended up modifying my original tin to accept the tach. See posts 50-51 of the following thread:

I uploaded a pattern for making the modifications here:

If you can't find a real one I do make them from original tins. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=792563
