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.

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.

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.

Les, no swap meet. I was walking through 1 1/2' of snow with my toolbox under my arm and about 20 degrees and windy. It was like work that paid well. A few dashes were already pulled in a storage building. The price? I didn't steal them, but i think it was a fair price. The people i dealt with knew what they were.

Eric, You must have been a good distance from here if you found 1.5 feet of snow! Is that a rare floor shift tilt?

Wasn't that far. Up until today, i had probably close to a foot in my yard. I think i plowed 4 times in the last 2 weeks.
The column is an auto missing the shifter.
