factory tachometers
Which trucks came with factory tachs? I'm going yard hunting for one so knowing where to look saves a lot of time. Will I need to take anthing other than the gauge for the swap?

They were standard on Scottsdale and Silverado trim packaged Chevy models and Sierra Grande, Sierra Classic GMC models I believe but I may be wrong. Then again, it was an option for most models. Good hunting. Seen some on Ebay, but mostly as gauge packages vs. just the tach.

Jon, you're right. I'm reading my brochure and it just says full instrumentation, meaning it doesn't have idiot lights. Tachometer is an option. Thanks fer steering me right

It was an option. It's not in any particular model of truck. You will just have to look. I think a tachometer was only available till 1982

Thats cos it's a guy thing Kyle... There's nothing like looking through the Wreckers yard on a Saturday morning... With a fresh skiff of snow on the ground. and the smell of cutting torches and burning rubber wafting through the air, And then you see it... The piece you have been lookin for since last summer. Just like finding Gold. It's an adventure every time I go.

Look in 2 1/2 ton trucks. They usually have them. I drove by an old '85 grain truck for sale the other day and it had one. Just gotta crawl up and look you know... I got a tach for my '86 that matches the other gauges in my dash. Got it on eBay for $125.

As stated a factory tach was an option....you either forked out the cash or didn't. Two styles....73-late 77...manual oil psi gauge...makes a difference in the printed circuit board and the bucket....78 up went to an electric oil psi gauge...
The C60/70 series is an entirely different story....has a dual air guage set up for air brakes and the fuel gauge is located within the tach.....C/K series trucks are a drop in install....the dash harness was wired with a splice so you can interchange tach or no tach....which basically moved the fuel gauge around...C60/70 trucks are wired completely different.....and the buckets are different also....it can be installed....i bought a Helm 79 Medium duty wiring diagram for notes as an air guage for on board air would be sweet.

Gauge package and tachometer applications are as follows for 1973 to 1987 light duty models only (excluding special editions in this discussion):
Standard instrumentation included speedometer/odometer, fuel guage, generator warning light, oil pressure warning light, engine temperature warning light. Standard on all years and models EXCEPT FOR 1973-1974 YE9 Cheyenne Super/Sierra Grande and 1975-1987 Silverado/Sierra Classic models. Optional Z53 guage package replaced replaced the generator, oil pressure, and engine temp warning lights included with the standard instrumentation packages above with ammeter (1973-1975) or voltmeter (1976-1987), oil pressure, and engine temperature guages. This package was optional with all trim levels, except for the 1973-1974 YE9 Cheyenne Super/Sierra Grande and 1975-1987 Silverado/Sierra Classic models, where it was standard. Optional U35 electric clock available on all 1973-1987 models but required purchase of Z53 guage package where not standard. Could not be ordered in conjuction with optional U16 tachometer. Optional U16 tachometer available on all 1973-1981 models but required purchase of Z53 guage package where not standard. Could not be ordered in conjuction with optional U35 electric clock. ALSO: this tachometer option continued to be available on all 1982-1987 models, but ONLY AS A SPECIAL EQUIPMENT ORDER OPTION. (This fact is noted only in Data Books and NOT in brochures.) Ken |

Speaking of the larger trucks (bigger than 1 ton...) they too had many variations. Not all of those trucks had the small air gage or small vacuum gage as previously mentioned so some of them are directly interchangeable with the CK10-30 factory Z53 style packages. If you find one of these, beware that there are also different speedo head designs so you may not be able to use your old speedo head to maintain your current mileage and the plastic gage 'bucket' and printed circuit for the tach insturment cluster is different that those that didn't have one so if you find a cluster, get the whole thing. KIILEW had an excellent description and to add to that keep in mind the oil pressure gage design went from mechanical to electrical 78.
One last point, there were dealer accessory tachs available (using a signal from the alternator) for DIESEL trucks at least in the 80's that combined the fuel gage and tach into one instrument that fit to the right of the speedo.

tachs
Well Kaos gave you the short version although he knows more:-) . i 've been called the guru of these things and this could get i nto a mighty lengthy discussion so i'll just post my old "WORD DOCUMENT' . I've learned all this the HARD WAY. Do not BUY JUST A TACH & FUEL GAUGE AS THE PC and CLUSTER HOUSING ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT. this info may confuse you a bit but read it more than once. pay close attention to years mentioned as you are looking for the most sought after one. also note my EBAY findings. Most of all save it . DAVE
*,PLEASE READ ON FOR PROPER APPLICATION. This is one of those items that is commonly mis-advertised as 73-87 when in fact there are several differences in each unit The first thing to keep in mind is that GM did offer a Tach as an option after 1981 in light trucks,but they are rare as Hens teeth .I have found Canadian units that were supposedly from Mid 80's trucks/blazers but the speedo is in KmH .It would be easy to install a U.S. MPH speedo to it.There were 6 cyl. and 8 cyl. models available and a 6 cyl. one is going to read high in a V-8 application. 95% are probably V-8's. Try to know it works before you buy it. I have been TOLD that the 73-75 units are NOT serviceable[I verified this now] and if they are bad, and keep in mind that ANY service will probably set you back $125+ .I also found out Most of the tach repair places do'nt carry parts for these year tachs. The Light trucks were only offered with a 5,000 RPM tach but I have seen 4,000 RPM ones also. probably big diesel. {when i say BIG ,I mean like a C-60/C-6000 series truck. The tach is easy to wire, but getting at least a short piece of the factory pigtail to the back of it is nice to have, But not a necessity. If you look close at the back of the tach it will tell you where the wires go. many people don't know that there was a 'filter', that looks like a condenser, installed in many years of the factory wiring for radio interference reasons.It was mounted on the firewall behind the distributor. this is not a necessity .Speaking of distributors it does not matter if you have and old point ignition or HEI the tach still works. MOST Tach dashes WITH a VOLT gauge are the common ones and will work in 78-84 for sure as pretty much a "plug in and go" unit. It is possible to work on 1985 and 1986 models depending on what you have still have in the way of the factory computer [I.E.= if you have removed the factory feedback carb And ESC distributor, Etc. and DON'T need feedback then it will be fine]. As far as pickups go it will not work on an 87 and will not work on Blazers and Burbs from 1987 to 1991 because of feedback needed for the factory EFI computer(ECM). Again it can made,and at least one will be made by me to sell. The 1973 to 1975 models used an AMP gauge instead of the VOLT gauge and this can cause major wiring problems (meltdown) if installed in later trucks equipped for VOLT gauge or vice-versa. The 1976-77 used the volt gauge but had a mechanical oil pressure gauge and creates a two year only dilemma of sorts. If you find a 1976 or 77 unit with the VOLT gauge and the MECH. Oil pressure then it can only be used in 76 and 77 models with a complete and KNOWING wiring change of the later model wiring connector.It is not just a simple matter of using the mechanical pressure gauge instead of the electric. If you are Brave and think you can rewire it to be compatible and use the mechanical oil pressure gauge then something to keep in mind here is to get at least a little piece of the factory oil line and fitting that was on the back of the gauge. I say this because the factory gauge has a unique type of ferrule and fitting on the back of the gauge that is good to save and reuse. I have made aftermarket lines/fittings work but have also had them blow off the back and make one heck of a mess. The factory used a steel oil pressure line and I prefer that to plastic or you can buy 1/8" copper. Keep in mind that there were also several variations of needle colors and the type of lettering/numbers on the gauges. Mixing and matching gauges can create a weird looking unit. The big trucks ,like C-60's are easily identified by a tiny fuel gauge UNDER the tach and anything from a clock,blank , air pressure gauge ,or vacuum gauge CAN be where the small ,round ,lower left clock option goes in a pickup dash. Some big trucks only had 4,000 RPM tachs also[and you thought a 5,000 was too low]. LOL.. Big truck tach dashes can be made to work in a pickup ,but offer many of there own unique problems because of optional gauges that were available in them and the years of compatibility and options mentioned above DO NOT directly apply to them. big things to get from all of this is , AMP or VOLT gauge could= FIRE, so Know it works! or BIG $$ to fix, 6Cyl. or 8 Cyl., 75% of sellers on Ebay Don't care about your concerns because I Email them all the time hoping they will correct their ad and they Don't. 25% are very grateful.

Yikes! that was more in depth than I expected. So I'll just go and find a couple and then compare them to the article. Anythng I can't use I'll just sell on the parts board.

the CUCV's are a whole different breed. They do not sell well other than areas where guys do serious off roading. the lazy utilitarian type people , like me, that i deal with have no use for a stripped down ,smokey diesel ,camo paint, rough riding ,blah blah blah. ;-).
I just so happens though that i saved a some useful ID info on those Miliatry trucks and have a link to a site dedicated to them. COPIED INFO************* What do you need to know about them?
