stock oil pressure gauge
my truck is a 1/2 ton 72 short fleetside. well I have been wondering about the oil pressure gauge, for 1/2 tons they are 60 psi. did the larger 1 tons have 80 psi ? and I have tried serching a few times to google and here to find one. with not much luck I thought I'd ask on here if there is such a gauge for the instrument clusters that will fit right in without mods. and would the sending unit need to match the gauge? where can i find the gauge to purchase? oh I forgot to explain, allthis info would be for a mechanical gauge not electric
thank you for helping me with these questions

Re: stock oil pressure gauge
The larger trucks came with 80 psi gauges and they are a direct interchange using your existing line and dash.

Re: stock oil pressure gauge
I think the 80lb gauges were used on big block trucks, regardless of series. I have two instument clusters that I pulled from large trucks because they had vacuum gauges. Both of them have 60lb gauges.

Re: stock oil pressure gauge
This might explain why my gauge has always registered low.... (Big block truck with 350)

Re: stock oil pressure gauge
I think they only make new ones of the 60lb variety. I bought a couple of used ones from a board member a while back. I would put up a wtb thread on the board. I'm sure you will be able to find one!
