Hey folks, its Andrew. OrangeRcode brought me over here. I don't have any tachs or vacuum gauges, but I do know someone that does and can get you in touch with him if you'd like. If you are looking for gauge overlays, I make those too, custom or OEM. I've made them for several vehicles and can make just about anything that you can imagine. 8)

This is my setup:

That bothers me too. It's one of the many things on the list of stuff to do, but I figure I should worry about putting my cab back on the frame ...
Ya, I know what you mean there...so do you have the same tach or one thats the same size?

I have the same tach. I wanted the 2 Digit version but ended up with the single because it was about 20 bucks cheaper.
