Said to have been used throughout the 70's in the bigger trucks. If this is the case, I will be scouting for these. I think its a nice looking piece. I personally have never seen the inside of the heavy duty trucks, so I dont know. My thought was if its not from the HD trucks, maybe another Mopar in dash application, and thats why the wiring looks to be plug and play. 8012676-OddTach01.jpg (392 downloads)

Is it indeed from the Medium Duty 400-700 series trucks? It is from d or w series up to 800 series. I have owned, sold from new a lot of those trucks and I don't ever recall seeing a tachometer. C series had them commonly and they were all cable driven off the distributor. I am sure it could of been an option, but I never have seen them.

I went out and got an AutoMeter tach. The only reason I pick up this one is because the hole was already there for a trans cooler gage (broken, and not working) and this slid right in. Works great, not hard to read at a glance, and the needle is the same color as the rest. Just an option.

I have seen, and had, the factory small tach, but never seen the large diameter tach as a factory installation. The tack had a pentastar stamped just under the U bracket, and the part number looks Mopar. I just want to know if the Medium Duty trucks have been hiding a really cool factory truck dash.

The others use a single digit * 1000 this one uses a double digit * 100 the Medium Duty trucks would typically have had the 318 or maybe an industrial 413 platform. If it was a diesel tach, it wouldn't use the same wiring as a gas (as seen on the back side) Join the Penguin Liberation Front!! Stop the Hippo Occupation!
