Anyone know of a source for tach parts? I have a functional tach, with a broken needle. Need a needle. I have a feeling it's going to be a needle in a haystack thing...

I don't know about these days, but at one time, you could buy new gauges for these trucks. I don't know about just a new needle for the tach. You may have to buy another tach.

I would look for a tach instrument panel at the junk yard. The individual gauges are removable, so you could swap the complete panel or just the gauge to keep the odometer reading correct. I buy panels if I come across one to have as a spare.
