WTB "With Tach" fuel gauge

[FRANKENTRUCK]

I finally found a factory tach and am putting together a new gauge pod to replace my idiot lights. Does anyone have a good condition "with tach" type fuel gauge that goes in the bottom left of the gauge pod? I need the type that has lettering, NOT pictures.

LMC has one...But not sure if it's what you are looking for.

I appreciate the link but I tend to stick with original parts whenever posssible.

Understandable. However, finding the originals will be quite tough.

That is very true! I intend to build an original gauge pod with the desired gauges and use them. If they are to my liking I will continue with them. If any go bad or they are not accurate enough I may consider building a modern day one with repro gauges (that would look GOOD). The tach arrived today and I installed it into the "target" gauge casing along with my 100 mph speedometer, a volt gauge, an oil pressure gauge, and a temp gauge. The one bottom left slot is reserved for the small "with tach" fuel gauge. The tach needle stays at 5 instead of zero. Is this normal? The tach is untested so it could be anything.

With the engine off, mine always jumped up to 5 or 10 but returned to 0 when the key was turned to on, but engine off. Earlier tachs were notorious for going bad, newer ones don't go bad that often.

Expensive as hell, but I wanted these for my square.
