Factory Tachometers

Does anyone know what models had a factory tach? And if Broncos had them as well, and what years they could be in?

Thanks,

All 80-86 Trucks and bronco's had the option of having in dash tachometer, and lots of them came this way from the factory. Unfortunately for the ones of us searching for this sought after part they are hard to find. I've been searching for 2 years for a cluster and thus have came up dry.

I belive i was told at one time that 80-98 or 80-96 F-600 and up still used the 80-86 style cluster so they'd be a direct swap, but i'm not sure about the information.

I got my gauge cluster with the tach out of an 85' XLT Lariat, and it also had a trip meter....

You need to check E-Bay - the cluster with tach is available all the time. They go for about $40.00 + shipping.
