Factory Tach???
Hi guys, been a while since I've posted, but I scrolled across something interesting in my newsfeed, that I haven't seen before. There's a really knowledgeable guy that runs several of the FB groups and has one of the largest 73-79 lit collections I've seen. He posted this and hadn't come across it either, he said he was going to cross reference with the MPC, but I didn't follow up. I believe he said it came from a 1976 Special Order price lists. Any thoughts or opinions??? Or better yet, does anyone have one???

Wonder if this was a dealer installed option?

I have no idea, that's why I deferred to you guys. The guy that posted that on FB is usually my go to source, so figured I'd come here to see if anyone had any better ideas.
Even if it was dealer installed, I'd still be curious how/where it was installed. Funny seeing a brand new truck roll off the lot with a tach hose clamped to the column...haha.

This is a new one on me too.
From the description, it sound like it may have been installed to the left of the instrument cluster, where the vent would be if you had factory A/C because it says for trucks without A/C.
