speed warning, vac and tach? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

drivethechevy · 06-11-2008, 12:59 AM

is there anywhere or anyone who makes clusters with all 3 of those? and where would wone find most of those options i a factory truck? like where should i keep my eyes open for them the most?

Longhorn Man · 06-11-2008, 01:01 AM

well, the only way to get a factory vac guage in the insterment panel from the factory was in a gas powered, non air brake C/40 or bigger.
So I'd look there.
Speed warning was 69 and older

Is far as i know, the speed warning is not reproduced, so you would have to find an original. And as andy mentioned, the vacuum would have to come from a bigger truck. Also, an original tach/speedwarning rear tin has a special insulator for the buzzer to not ground out. Not easy to find what you are looking for, and if you find one, i'm sure it won't be cheap.

I have two speed, tach, vac clusters and have been thinking about getting rid of one. They have both been taken apart media blasted and painted. They are ready to be assembled. If you are seriously looking for one pm me and we can talk about it.

Sneak peek of the cluster i finished up for my "project". This is all original parts including the bezel.

Eric what would you say one of these are worth restored with the buzzer and harness.

Those look great. I would love to have one, but would be scared of the price tag.

bestchevyfan · 06-12-2008, 04:21 PM

But, Its Only Money.

powell72 · 06-12-2008, 04:59 PM

too much stuff, I'm more impressed with the choke delete emblem than anything else on that cluster!

Powell, the choke delete was the finishing touch. Thanks for the compliments.
Paul, price i would say around $700. That is just my humble opinion of course.

PT'S 70 CST · 06-12-2008, 08:51 PM

Eric, with being restored w/ buzzer and harness for tach and speed warning. I would not take less than 800.00

**too much stuff** · 06-12-2008, 10:58 PM

Paul, your price is probably closer with the buzzer and harness. So seldom you see a setup like that to judge a good price. That one you did looks great.

bigblockV6 · 06-15-2008, 11:39 AM

You can get a reproduction Tach and vacuum conversion from the Car and Truck Shop, Classic Industries, Golden State Pickups and several other vendors that specialize in 67-72 trucks. Myself I found the vacuum gauge useless in a light duty truck so in it's place is a 82-87 c-k series quartz clock I custom fit, you can check it out by clicking onto http://rides.webshots.com/photo/1145...33798696ArxHfz.

msgross · 07-13-2008, 09:35 PM

I have a few of those choke deletes... nice setups pictured
though

my parts guy gets $795 for a restored tach, vac, speed alert dash with woodgrain bezel.
