Does anybody know what trucks had an 80-up style tach?
I'm looking for one for my 86 K-10 project. I have a lot of extra tach clusters and parts I don't need but no tach of that style....what years did the big series trucks (C60, etc.) have them?

You might look at the GM sport salvage tach also. The big trucks usually only register to 5K, but those register up to 7K. http://gmsportssalvage.com/?q=node/1316

LMC just started offering some reproduction tachs. Look decent but who knows....

Lol....well, I went through one of the local u pull it yards and scored 3 more tach clusters and one of them was the one I was looking for....out of an 84 1-ton dually Silverado and is still sporting its 454 and 4 speed manual! Black on black too! Wish they would sell em whole out of the yard....it'd be a cool one to build.

Ok....so while I was taking apart and cleaning my collection of tach clusters, I noticed the one I pulled from the 84 dually has a black and white needle on the tach- shouldn't it be orange too?

Nice find on the tach. Really wish I had scored a pickup tach cluster. I'm happy with my big truck tach.
The needle should be orange. |

Hmmm...I'll have to post a pic of it...I imagine I could swap it for a Speedo needle....weird though. I had a C60 tach cluster once but it was a diesel truck so it had a 4K limit with a 3500-4000 redline.
