I'd recommend doing an advance search in the 40 and 55 section for the word "tachometer", you'll find a wealth of info in the archives.
From what I've read, the F motor redlines just over 4k rpm so a 0-6k tach is probably best. My uncle just gave me an old Sunpro 0-8k tach that I'll be installing, I can't complain, it was free.

SOR has the OEM tachometers, they look pretty sharp.
A few people have dome them and there is a thread or two on restoration of the OEM tachs.
I pulled the OEM gauge cluster and did a full swap, workie for me

there is so much of this topic already in these threads, do the search and be happy.
i've included a pic of mine, that will only improve once they are in to humor your thread..
now, to cut or not to cut, that is the question!

autometer makes a 5000 rpm tach:
AutoMeter 2-5/8" Tach, 5,000 Rpm [ATM-2888] EDO Performance
but....if you can get an oem ....it looks good...works good and is way cooler than aftermarket IMO

I am wanting an OEM. Where can I get one? I did a search for Tachometers and saw where someone had an OEM Tach or made it look OEM. Loved it! So, where can I get one?

Prolly wouldn't be too hard to find one from a 60 series and make a bezel to hold it. That would be Toyota and look pretty stock. Least that's what my thoughts have been.
I picked one of those up out of the FS section for something like 25 bucks. Don't know when I'm gonna get around to installing it, but it's 'on the list!'
