Gauges

I have a cluster housing.... 2 full sets of gauges and the front bezel....just need the plastic lens. Its a cluster I'm putting together for the fleetside....I have the gauges in the stepside already w/factory tach and vac gauge

If anyone has another, I could use one too. Full instrument lens for '60-'63.

I am not home until the 29th. I will have to recheck my inventory but I do not believe I have any.

These are super hard to find in good restorable condition.

Good luck with the search.

Here are the differences in the cluster types. There is the full gauge style that will accept a tach and vac gauge or air and there is the other style with fuel and temp only gauges. There is also a version of this cluster that is fuel gauge only.

The full gauge cluster lenses are real hard to find. I will get back with the OP if I can help him with one.

Take care,
Tom

I know the difference between with GAUGES or LIGHTS that's VERY obvious I was asking what is the difference in the LENS?????

1963c-10 · 04-17-2015, 10:15 AM

The layout on the lens is different between the two. The writing is on the back of the lens, so the two are not interchangeable.

If I have offended you, I apologize, no intent. I guess what I should have said is that there is a difference between the lens on a warning light cluster compared to a full gauge cluster.

The difference in the lens is shown in the photos I posted. The small gauges on a warning light lens are next to each other horizontally and the small gauges on the full gauge cluster are vertical (almost) to each other.

Hope this helps.

Have a great weekend,
Tom

Here you go if interested,

They both are very restorable lenses but will need paint stripped and repainted as well as buffed.

The one with the white lettering/numbers is probably the nicer of the two but they will both need some work to show nice.

I almost hate to sell these as they don't come around that often. I get customers from time to time that want restoration done with cracked lenses and I have no good source for them.

I need $60.00 shipped for what ever one you want and I will insure the package for the purchase price.

Let me know,
Thak you,
Tom

MitchFloyd · 04-29-2015, 11:06 AM

T-Bone, I'll take one, (the white lettering) if it's available. PM me for payment details.

Let me see what 1963-c10 wants to do before I make a decision. This is his thread after all and I want him to make his choice if he is interested.

I will let you know soon,
Thank you,
Tom

1963c-10 · 04-30-2015, 08:07 AM
