usually the fuse box on on the inside of the cab. If you have a voltmeter, or even a 12V light on a jumper wire, probe the fuse box with the key off, to see which fuses are dead. A tach will draw almost nothing, so you should be able to jumper it into any fuse that is only live when the key is on.
On most cars, the radio power is an obvious choice for what you are doing.
