Not sure on the wood grains. 77 on up silver. Where did you get that picture?

Guy is thinking about listing it on the ebay. I just wanted to know if it was authentic, and if so I would play more attention to the bigger Dodges from now on. Join the Penguin Liberation Front!!

Quote: I just wanted to know if it was authentic, and if so I would play more attention to the bigger Dodges from now on. That sure perked my interest. Like I said I have sold from new and owned many larger d series truck and have never seen that tach. It sure looks to be original. I will keep my eye peeled looking for another one.

Here's a shot from the 76 brochure that clearly shows a silver bezel on the right. I have yet to nail down the changes among them in relation to model year. About the one originally posted, it sure looks factory. Interesting, too! 8014984-76Trucks8.jpg (176 downloads) OIF V and OEF X veteran and proud of it!

It does have the pentastar logo on the back and both the tach and bezel have indexing marks on them so the tach is orientated correctly. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-MOPAR-1973-6...221293576918%26 This is an NOS one on eBay

Here's mine, I took the clamp off to get a better shot of the markings on the back. 8079726-1.jpg (145 downloads) Cheeto It's not perfect. It's not correct. It's not yours!
