Installing a Tach in a '64-66 Chevy Truck

That article has pictures on how to take out the instrument panel.

Take your time and check everything on the back is disconnected, before you yank on it.


a few image of my instrument panel, out of the truck, it will give you an idea of what all is back there


Good luck,

-W

Re: how do i take my guage bezel off

Are you wanting to remove your instrument panel? The outer bezel is secured to the panel with small bolts from the back side.
Ignition Switch-
Put in key, then depress pin through the small hole with a paperclip. Turn slightly to the left and the key cylinder should pull out.
Then you can unscrew the bezel around the switch and it can be removed.
Nuts around switches-
Remove knobs and then with a small punch or screwdriver- GENTLY tap one of the slots to move it in a counter clockwise motion. After initial loosening it should be able to hand screwed out.
If you are wanting to pull the whole panel- you will need to remove all the switches- Light, Wiper and Cig lighter first. Just did that tonifgt on my '66.
12V Pug- ????
