80 lbs oil gauge
 

i am wanting to know if a 3 ton truck with a 366 will have a 80 lbs gauge or do they only come in the 427 tandem trucks ?

C/40 and up should have them.

Only way to know for sure is to pull the cluster and see. Usually the c40 and up with big blocks had them.

I've pulled two 80lb gauges from c50's with small blocks.

I'd like to see how that gauge is different from the oil pressure gauge that is in my truck. I don't know what max pressure is, and would be curious to know.

C10-30 trucks have 60 lb gauges, faces are the same. Only way to tell is pull it from the cluster like Eric stated, and the lower portion of the face will be stamped with a part number and either 60 or 80 lb. I put 80 lb gauges in all my trucks, the nice thing about them is they don’t peg out at start up.

Good to know. Mine also pegs at startup. It's done it forever, so I guess it isn't an issue. Not sure I like it, though. I've seen oil filters bloat from excessive pressure (not on this truck, though).
