Or check the local U-pull-it and see if they have a 1980-1985 bronco/f150/f250 with a trip odometer and get the cover there.

Found a nice tach with a cracked cover but the guy said $20 for it. Sadly the truck is on top of a 90s silverado and under an 80s chevy...

Thats too bad. One thing I saw was interesting was that of the 6-7 broncos/trucks I saw of the 7th gens, at least 3 had the non-tach cluster out, but still there. Also I saw a pretty cool looking 6th gen with a bullbar and nerf bars with a winch.

Also here is the tach and where the truck is. The a pillar on the drivers side is crushed and the 80s chevy is sitting on top of that.

Havent gotten around to it yet. I'll make one as soon as I get off of work today. Today is payday going to the muffler shop to get some quotes on dual exhaust! My pipes are 2 1/2 true dual that go to a single muffler and then out the passenger side. Not loud or anything. I wonder how much it will be to make it duals that come out behind each wheel.

well today I went to visit my gramps, and right outside of the town is a small junkyard. I decided to go and take a look on the off chance I might find a tach/ even just find an 80-86. So, I go around and there are 3-4 80-86s and 5-6 87-91s. I looked at 2 with no tachs and then the third truck I look at had the tach! So I pulled it out and bought it for $25. No cracks in the plastic cover, odometer reads 23k. Tonight going to paint the needles and set it to my miles. Also tonight when I get home I'll make the build thread.
