Does that truck have a mechanical cable drive tach? Older tachs were driven by a flex cable coming from the transmission. The needle bounces when the cable needs to be greased. If it does not get greased, the cable breaks.
All the aero mods in the world will not help mileage if you are turning 4000 RPM.
