The issue with that one is that it is out of the medium-duty trucks, and does not fit the C/K light-duty instrument basket. That makes it much more work to fit. This thread shows the differences. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/63-...duty-tach.html

The gmsports.com tach/fuel combo plugs into the existing instrument basket in the light-duty trucks. You can see how they put a set of terminals for the fuel gauge on a piece of plexiglas in the correct location for the instrument basket fuel gauge connections, then wired those to the actual fuel gauge mechanism, in the side view pic above.

You can either use the gmsports.com gauge with the different font, or do more fitting work to get the classic font. I kind of like the bigger numerals on a tach, but it's a taste thing.
