Hood tachs are aftermarket, dealer installed items. Only vehicle factory equipped is likely the Pontiac GTO. No Ford Torino, Mustang or otherwise came with a factory hood tach.
As for the large trucks I don't know. Some of those trucks had factory hood scoops though!

Would it even go in? I loved the dash out of my '64, which was the same, but didn't know if they would fit in a dent. If so it would be awesome!!!!

1973/79 Passenger Cars, F100/350's, Bronco's & Econolines:
Universal "fitz-all" FoMoCo accessory tachometers, came with steering column mounting bracket.
D3AZ-17A326-A .. 6,000 RPM Faria Tachometer, 250 degree dial.
D3AZ-17A326-B .. 9,000 RPM Faria Tachometer, 250 degree dial.
Beginning in 1961, there were all sorts of accessory tachs available. Most were either marked SUN, or had crossed flags, or the Cobra emblem. Some mounted atop the dash, some on the steering column.
Initially listed in Ford High Performance Catalogs that feature the Cobra emblem on the cover. Then in the Motorsport Catalogs that were introduced in 1969.
I have no Motorsport Catalogs, but do have the original Hi-Po Cobra versions that cover 1961/67 and 1968.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And, the 1965/72 Ford Passenger Car Parts Catalog lists this little charmer: 1965/71 all FoMoCo vehicles =
C9AZ-17A326-A .. 8,000 RPM Tach / Hood Mounted / Obsoleted 11/1973.
btw: I don't recall if GTO's (Gran Turismo Omologato aka Garbage Truck Option) came with a hood mounted tach...or not, but I do recall seeing some Firebirds with this feature.
1964 Pontiac GTO considered by many as the first muscle car and was the brainchild of Pontiac executive John Z. DeLorean.
