Suspect Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 since I borrowed so many parts from my 73 for other trucks, I didn't have enough spair parts to put the 73 back together again. I didn't have the plastic for the guage cluster so I fabricated this. What do you guys/girls think? Quote Link to comment
VoidDragon Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Looks good. Is that the only size tach that'll fit? I want one soo bad, but Im afraid the size difference will annoy the OCD in me. I want a OEM, but then again, 100+ and being able to find one is a bit much... Quote Link to comment
Suspect Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 I did this to my 74, used a busted guage cluster cone, and an aftermarket tachometer... I think it was a 4" tach... clostest I could make to factory without actually haveing a factory. Quote Link to comment
VoidDragon Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 that turned out awesome. If only I had a spare cone... Id almost hate crackin up a good speedo or guage pod to do that Quote Link to comment

Suspect Posted November 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) When I made mine, I used a cluster cone that was already busted, delete insert where the tach is which someone already cut a hole in, and superglue. I bored the already cut hole in the delete insert until I had just a narrow edge where the face of the tach would show threw. Then I super glued what was left of the insert to the tachometer and I had my mount. As for the cone, I drilled holes where the delete incert mounts would be, and the cone I used for the tach slid over the mounting studs. Kinda the way I did the plexyglass on my 73. So I didn't even have to use any "good" stuff to make that. Edited November 27, 2009 by Suspect Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 looks good. i have a sunpro supertach 2 in my 73. works good too. but i am not happy with the size either. its too small. my OE tach doesn't work so i threw that one back in. i have ontohter cluster for my 78 with a HUGE 5 inch mallory tach with shift light but like i said its HUGE. i might figure out a pod setup for it and try to find a clock fo the 73 and use the mallory one in the 73 but who knows.
