Tach question
 
What is the difference between a big truck dash with gauges & tach compared to a c10. I know the bezel is different, but what about the tach, gauges, & printed circuit. Can you just replace the bezel, or is more involved to convert it. Thank you for your help. James

Re: Tach question
 
I've used the tach and glass from a c60 on a couple of dashes, kept the stock circuit on the back but wired the tach in separately. I also covered the air pressure print on the glass with black tagboard.. I don't know for sure if the whole dash swaps, but i know the glass is the same size.

the inst cluster will swap out with just a new bezal.
The oil pressure guage is 80 PSI instead of 60.
check the tach... the 10 - 30 series got the lame 5000 RPM unit. Some of the bigger trucks had the mega lame 4500 RPM piece... some were even less.

Thank you for the information, is the tach the same for all the v8 trucks, smallblock, bigblock, what about diesel, or was that even an option on 67-72 big trucks.
