All the recent talk about restoring gauges got me thinking about my
"other" project; my 1924 Chevy 1 ton truck.
I have been tinkering with the old thing for a while now (when I wasn't
able to work on my 49 3100), and am to the point of re-installing the
gauges. The problem is that you cant just pick up a catalog and get new
decals for these old trucks, and you can pretty much forget finding
replacements. The truck only has 3 instruments.......speedometer,
ammeter and oil pressure gauge.
Can anyone out there help me find a place that can repair/rebuild/reface
these old gauges, or maybe know of a reputable source for purchasing NOS
ones? I realize this is a little out of the year range for the list
(only by 17 years!), but I couldn't think of any other places to turn.
Thanks in advance

being a future project?
40 KC (Chevy 1/2 ton) ....... all original, runs like a top, but needs

together
