30 + year pursuit for a tach/vacuum cluster

[jerry moss]

we have a customer at the shop where i work. he's been coming there forever for his personal and work trucks. over 30 years ago he brought in a C50 that had a burned valve and we did the heads on it. i tried to talk him into letting me swap out the tach/vacuum cluster for a standard cluster but he wasn't interested. over the years i would bring it up every 4 or 5 years but he still wasn't interested. finally a year or so ago i noticed the truck was parked in the same spot for quite some time so i asked if they stopped using it and he said yes so i brought up the cluster again. this time i got the answer i've been waiting for for a long ass time so Saturday morning i finally got it home- don't know what i'm going to do with it now since i no longer need it. i've had a few others over the years including one i built using all NOS gauges including speed warning. sorry for the long post but i had to share my 30+ year pursuit that finally came to an end.
