The TF GMC's had a slot in the dash for a tach or clock, but the TF Chevies had
to do
like what you would do in an AD truck. The dealer installed alternatives were
to cut a
hole in the dash as you are thinking or to mount a tach in a steel cup on the
steering
wheel column...so both fit the spirit of original if that matters to you.
Since I don't
want to cut the dash in my Suburban, I found an original Sun Tach (3 1/2 inch)
and
chrome mounting cup. You do also need a transmitter for the old ones.
