If possible could you guys post some pics of aftermarket tack location. Im just not sure what is going to look best and could use some pics to get the wheels turning. Thanks for the help.

 

This is a pretty typical location, attached to the steering column with a large hose clamp. Other people have inserted the tach into the a/c register to the left of the steering wheel, if you don't have a/c.

 

hey fatherdoug, to install ur cd player there, did you have to buy a certain mounting kit? or did it fit ok there

 

I did mine on the right of the shaft just a little higher! same tach same spot 3 different trucks

 

clhart426,

I bought a universal mounting kit by Scoshe from Walmart, and I had to cut out part of the metal bracket(the mounting holes for the old-style radio) so it would fit.

 

My truck didn't come with air, so I took the plastic from a dash that had air, removed the vent and slid a 3" tach in there. It fits like a glove, I'll take a few pictures in a few minutes.

 

Here is mine. My dash is covered so I wasn't worried too much about drilling into it.

 

i found a universal schoshe kit at walmart for a 70s van, but not sure if that would swap over to my truck--78 f150

 

hey bucks why not post a better pic of your dash im liking the look of it...

 

I would love to see a pic of the tac mounted flush in the dash bezel above the headlight switch. I think that would look pretty nice there.

 

He's got some sweet pics of it in the "what have you done today" thread , page 16, Post # 228

I really like the Diamond plate!

C'mon guys let's see those tach's - i have one to mount in the next couple months with no clear ideas

 

Mine is in about the same place as bucks.

 

Fairly typical I guess, tach on one side and shift light on the other:

 

 

funny....my dad laughed at me when i said i was going to get a tach with a shift light for my truck, bc "auto transmissions shift when they're ready, you dont need a light to tell you when its going to!"
