You have to make sure you have the correct ip gear cover for the tach, it should have a 1''npt plug in it for a pickup sensor. You have to swap clusters, and it has to be a diesel cluster AND tach.
It wasn't just the lower trim level trucks, mine has every option BUT the tach, key, heat, a/c, criuse, power windows/locks, and even bucket seats, but no tach.

non tach trucks didnt have the port for the sensor in the housing, although i have seen some of the newer ones that did have the port witha plug.
we just put a tach cluster in my pops 84, we were at the local yard and he found a diesel tach cluster, manual trans w/ trip odometer in some pos f150 gas truck lol.
he snagged it up, we changed housings and ran 4 wires, now he has a tach
not too hard of a job, and really finished his truck

So am I out of luck when it comes to the tach? Where is the port for it? I really don't want to get a new cluster. Then the odometer would be wrong. I guess i can get a sunpro like what my dad has in his 66 fastback mustang.It still wouldn't look right. It don't make sense to have a diesel and no tach.

That sunpro wont work, you have to have a diesel specific tachometer.
I put this tach in my last truck, I still have it if you're interested...

No, the autometer tach has a pickup that you strap onto the alternator.
