Classic Trucks Magazine Did A Story On That. Do A Search On The Site. It Looked Darn Near Factory.

I was very fortunate to find mine. I could have sold it a 100 times over. You can still find the oil pressure and the water temp in the 3 3/8.

This is the best one I have seen. It looks to only have the one ring around the guage. I may have directions how to do this. PM me your email addy and I will send you a copy of the article. This was done by someone here a few years ago. Not sure of his name anymore.

Not sure but maybe he just made the rings of the autometers black.

That one is the sweetest one that I have seen.
