I'm installing a tachometer in my '65 c10... and I'm trying to find the wire that is the dimmer wire - the one that dims the lights on the dash, etc..

This link shows it is a gray wire coming off the fuse box. If you scroll down 2/3 the page you can see a link to the 65 diagrams.

if you want the tach light to dim with the dash lights you may need to hook it to the switch. you should be able to figure the wire by care fully tracing. you know, that upside down dust in your eyes under the dash stuff.
