I found this "tach-force" and I really like the stock look of it. Has anyone had any experience with it? I did a search on the forums, but didn't see anything on it. http://www.customclassictrucks.com/...ruments_gauge_cluster_install/index.htmlThanks, Bobby | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 183 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 183 | I was also interested in the unit, looked around for a price on it and right away found out it was out of my price range!  Nice speedo though..... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 54 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 54 | Ouch! I can think of plenty of other things to do with 800 bucks. Think I'll have to keep looking. I haven't had a working speedo in my bolt for so long anyway I wouldn't know what to do with it. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 183 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 183 | I got a cheap Garmin GPS, it tells me how fast I'm going! Oops, sorry Cletis. Meant to say a Garmin GPS assembled with stove bolts.  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 37 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 37 | Mine was broke too. I installed a $99 speedo head, a new clear lense and I polished the chrome trim. It looks almost new now with a little clean up.
That Tack-Force is a nice set up though. If you really have to have a tach, and like the stock look that is the way to go.

Last time I bought a new speedo head and installed, but I'm going to have to swap out the gear in the transmission to get it to read right. I can't seem to get a working temperature or volt gauge, either. That was my main reason for considering the tach force. I'm not really interested in the tach part of it, but having an entire gauge cluster that works and looks somewhat original would be great! | | |
