Using Stock Gauges

Is there a way to use the stock gauges in my 47 if it is 6volt? I like the look of them and really want to retain that look.

Re: Using Stock Gauges

I think you can change the bulbs to 12VDC the water speedo and oil are mechanical so all you need to watch is the 6VDC fule gauge and sender,
, dont forget the rest of bulbs in the truck!

There are step down voltage resistors available for the fule gauge, someone will tell you which one on here

stovebolts.com has a whole tech thread on converting 6v to 12v.
