Tach on steering column
 
I have an 84 C10 and want to put a tach on the steering column. I am not looking for a huge racing tach with a shift light, just a smaller one to monitor rpms.
What are you using and where did you get it?
Thanks!

Got my tach from Speedhut, simple 6k tach mounted in an early Sun Tach cup (tach is designed as an in-dash unit)

I have a cheap one from O'Reilley's.About $39.00.
It's 2/2.5" I think. Pretty small but easy to read.

i have been using these for years with zero problems . there 2 3/4" and can bolt down or feed a hose clamp threw and around the steering column . i find them for good deals on ebay a lot of the time.

6k rpm = https://www.autometer.com/2-3-4-tach...ini-black.html

8k rpm = https://www.autometer.com/2-3-4-tach...ini-black.html

Here is the one I used in my 81. I had a SuperTach, but it quit on me. That was the second time one failed on me so I found a cheapie on ebay and it works great. for $15 I could not complain. Seems accurat and been running great for a year now.

The Super Tach II from Summit is about as cheap as they get and works fine.

This has been my go to but I put it under the right side of the column, there is a screw where the dash makes a turn. Keeps it out of the way of feet as well. Like this in both of my square bodies (my 70 has a factory tach in the dash).
