If you want to, you could go to a junkyard and get a factory instrument cluster with the tach. From what I've heard, the trucks without it have the wiring harness for the tach. I can't confirm 100%, as my truck has the factory tach.

yep.......you can hook any of those at tachs up as long as it's for an 8....and most are. Just figure out a place to mount it and run the wires to your coil.....negative side I think.....should be instructions with the tach. Some mount them in A pillar pods.....some on the dash......some on the wheel

I coulda told you that....go get you a little autometer like cody has in his truck....cheap and small we can mount it on your pillar or on top of the dash. we could probably do that today if you wanted...take like 20 minutes at the most

no offense to the factory instrument cluster but an after maret tach mounted on the pillar and lit up with some blue lights is way cooler than stock haha just my 2 cents but its bobbys truck not mine lol
