Well, I have seen gauge restoration stickers, cant find them, not sure where I found them... Thinking of doing the same thing and restoring my gauge plastic with some polish.

Re: 63 c10 Gauge Restoration

Jason at Greenback should be able to restore the gauges. I do know that he can add modern gauge internals while keeping the original look. He's currently working on a stock-appearing 10k tach and 160 mph speedometer for my '66, should be done within a couple weeks.


This is just a photoshop edit I did to give Jason an idea of what I was wanting, but the real thing should look identical.

I have used greg at madmonkeyrestorations.com with no complaints on my end. He was able to restore my factory vacuum guage and it looks and works perfect. Also...bowtie bits restores guages also...I believe around $65 apiece

Re: 63 c10 Gauge Restoration

I think Tom does them also. I think he does just about any cluster . He does gauge repairs and calibration too.
