Factory Tachs....

Not sure about this, but were there any versions of the gauge packages that had a factory tach installed? I know an aftermarket would be more acurate, but factory looks cleaner. Thanks

The only Ford trucks that got factory tachs were Large F series - C-L-N series and higher.

1980 was the first year of optional Factory tachs in pickups.


And even though a lot of people over in the 67-72 section take the clusters with factory tach out of the 1967 to 1979 F-600s etc, for use and modification in their 1967 to 1972 pickups.

This mod. won't work with the 1973 to 1979 pickups cause the 1973 to 1979 F-600 shares it's cluster and dash with the 1967-1972.


It's aftermarket I'm afraid if you want one.

Hope this helps.
