Adding Tachometer on 64
I would like to add a tachometer and possibly another gauge like oil pressure to my 64. Can I purchase any analog gauge and have it work. Truck has original 292 and generator. Thanks all.

Not up on the words. Is analog with a sweeping needle? If so a tach will work fine. Had one before restoring and am putting a Supertach in as wee speak. As far as the oil pressure gauge I put one in mine also but it is mechanical.

Yes that's the analog type I want. Issue is do I keep the cluster as is and add the tach to the dash or cut up the panel and add 2 gauges. Also what do I need to purchase with the tach to make it work or does it usually unclude the cable?

My tach came with more than enough wire. I mounted it to the steering column. All you need to buy his a 3 inch hose clamp for that. As far as the oil gauge it is mounted in the instrument panel on the right side of the speedometer. On the left side I installed a volt meter. Check out my thread and you will see pictures of the dash. 64 f 100 restoration I believe I titled it.
