Are these gauges factory??

[crazyjeenyus]

I acquired this truck from my uncle. It sat for 15-20yrs in a field and we’ve started the clean up and get back on the road process. I’m at the electrical stage now and getting everything updated and working. I noticed these gauges to the left of the cluster and realized that I’ve never seen them in all the pictures and threads I’ve read on the web.

I’m inclined to think they were added since the cluster has the GEN and OIL dummy lights. Has anyone else seen gauges at this location?

Cheers!

it is a shame the dash was cut up like that , aftermarket for sure

Not stock but at least the oil is vintage Stuart Warner. I'd lose the amperes in favor of a vintage SW water temp guage if it was mine.

I’d second that. I like having both an accurate gauge and an idiot light to get your attention. I also agree that vintage SW gauges look the best in these trucks (that’s what’s in mine). Interesting location, never seen that done before

I agree that it’s not ideal that the dash has been cut, but if a guy were to add gauges anywhere in the dash I’d say this is the best location. It’s funny because I didn’t notice them for the first three weeks of owning the truck which means they don’t stand out in a bad way.

I’m also interested in actual readings along with the basic dummy light, and I like the idea of replacing the battery gauge for an SW water temp gauge.

I’ll post a picture after I get it updated.

Thanks to everyone for your input.

Not stock for sure....but otherwise cool

I think its cool. It's neat how the old trucks had so many places to add on aftermarket or custom stuff. so much room for added switches and gauges. not just in the dash but under as well.
