I don't, I didn't build it. I sent him the blank plate and he did everything else except for the shift pointers, I had those leftover from an original tach.

Hmmm...! 10k tach...heck of a motor to make 10 without self destruct..
What we really need is to have a 120 speedometer....

The truck will eventually have a destroked LS2 with solid lifters and shaft rockers so it'll do 8k easily. Got the 120 mph speedo covered too, and then some! I photoshopped a 160 mph speedo and sent it to Jason at Greenback so he could make the artwork and have his screen printing guy make a lens. Still waiting to get it back, this is just the photoshopped pic.

Well, I got it installed. Here's a pic. It took a lot of head scratching and figuring, but it's in. Now to finish the gauge cluster, just about there.
I also replaced the ammeter with a voltmeter, that I read from RoyL here, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=443318 , changed the Tand'm Lock light to a Park Brake light for a future modification from jocko that I read about here, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=419932 , did some restoring on the cluster that I read about from the astronaut here, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=5806390 . Didn't do a full restore with new decals, trying to keep it a little worn looking for a daily driver. Maybe I will later when/if I do a full restore.

I am trying to attach the file that I got from Persh's web site. I did modify it to make it a 6K RPM tach face that looks similar to factory. If you use it, it will require some trimming. I printed it on some see through labels I got at Staples, Avery Clear Full Sheet Label, product #18665. The first label I could sort of see through, and the numbers that were over the inverted "T" of the factory backing plate showed through. So I painted it the Krylon Jade Green and tried again. I think it looks pretty good for a complete rookie.

Hope everything on the gauge cluster works now.

Hmm, document didn't show up. Try again.

Got it all put back together. Sorry for the crappy pic.

Neat trick with the Avery label and green background! Looks great!

I've been reading up on vinyl waterproof inkjet printing paper.
There's YouTube videos that demonstrate how to make stickers and decals.
It appears it wouldn't be that difficult to reface.

Just picked up this tach for my install, its a no name but its believed to be a Sun tach by all markings on it, a fleabay item broken lens and mount which was fine, seller did say it worked, cost me all of $15.00 so if it dosen`t not much of a loss, its actually a two inch gauge stuffed into a 3.5 inch pod as shown after removal from pod, three wire hookup, hot, ground, and pickup.

Jason at Greenback Decal built it.

To revisit an old thread... has any company decided to make a decal set to have a 6000rpm tach?
