Help with tach (or lack of)

[BowTie95]

Can you guys help me out here? I just bought a 1993 W/T 4.3 5 speed, and there is no tachometer? Is there any way I can hook one up? Isnt there a thing on the distributor that I can plug a tach into? And my truck came w/o a radio!? Is that because its a work truck and is just real basic? But there is a big square hole right above the heat and A/C, maybe there was a radio in there at one time? But I can't seem to find speakers anywhere in my truck? Any help is appreciated guys! Thanks!

speakers will be in your dash in each corner, or if REAL basic right in the middle of dash, also in the pillars on driver and pass side right by where your ear would be.

as for tach, can help someone will be able to tho.

You can hook up a tach but it's probably easier and would look better to just find a cluster with a tach and plug it in. One problem though is finding one for a v6 and a manual transmission. There is a terminal on one of the white wires that comes off of your coil, that is your coil pick up wire. That's where you hook up the tach. I'm surprised your truck doesn't have a radio at all. You will have some speaker grilles on the C pillar behind your head and it will be just a small grille covering the speaker. And up on the top of the dash in each front corner. It's not that bad if you want to put an aftermarket radio in it. Just mount speakers and run wires to them and run power wires to your radio.

P.S. Just because your truck is a Work Truck, that doesn't mean it does not come with a radio, most trucks do, and I don't think I have ever seen one without it. I would like to see some pictures of what that looks like.

Alright, I'll get some pictures of the interior. There is a big gaping hole above my A/C controls too, i figure someone just up and took the radio out, and are there speakers on my dash in the corners? Like there the widnsheild meets the dash, in those corners? I think there are speakers there.
