Where in the hell do you find a tach that small??? I've never been one for a big monster tach...figure small and condensed will tell me the same thing. I've been getting by with Autometer classic chrome tachs in 3 5/8" for a while...but would love to find a tach that small.

Is 2 1/16" small enough?

That's why I'd buy the AM piece for $120...some times price isn't just about name brand...but quality as well.

Yeah, I read the specs on it, plus not many dents' are going to be pulling anywhere close to 10K RPM so I deleted that one and posted a couple of other ones.

I believe this is the exact one. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/atm-2697/overview/ Is wasn't cheap, but seems well built.

It's a OEM Sport steering wheel that was an option for trucks and some cars in the period. I got mine for a good deal on ebay. You need to watch closely though because some car units were set up for the horn on the turn lever and won't work in your truck.

My $20 swap meet find... retail is about$120. It had a dented bezel so a lil filler, masking, and paint and she's as good as new.
After a 3-year search, here's my $16 salvage yard discovery. I couldn't believe it when I saw it.. pulled it out of a 77 Dentside. Almost had to buy the entire column but luckily a picker working on a bowtie was kind enough to lend me a 15/16 socket.
I'm headed to a swap meet tomorrow to find more good deals.
