Smokey,and all.
I to have a burning desire to know how much gas I have at any given time...
VDO is a guage manufactuer, I was turned to them by ?United Speedometer
Industries?, I don't have the info infront of me, I got their # from the last
issue of Custom Classic Trucks. The ad show a set of AD (an AD ad? :^) guages
that had been reworked, but the $ were outrageous!!! (BIG Bucks), but the
restorer told me that they had been stuck with around 400 VDO "600-922" kits
and that they normally sold for $495, but theyy were selling them for what
they had in them, $195- Yes that is a VERY good deal. The kit comes with all
the sending units for the guages. It comes with a 3 3/8" Speedo (125 mph. and
all electric) with a pulse sending unit that just happens to screw right down
to my original trannie. The kit also comes with 4 other 2 1/8 Guages (all
electrical) with the appropriate sending units. The guages are: Gas (with an
adjustable sending unit), volt meter, oil press. (with an electrical sender),
H2O temp (with sender also). Every thing appears to be a sraight bolt-on
operation. The faces of the guages are white and it lights up with a green
tent, great for my DARK green cab.
I plan on removing my '53 guages (not original to the '47-2, 90 mph speedo, 60
lbs oil, ect.) and use the bezels to mount my new guages, and if any one wants
a functional innards of a speedo and odometer (they both work, but the speedo
shakes over 40 mph) as well as the other guages, I would be willing to trade
them for a GOOD Rochester Carb for my ?55? 235 ci.
I will try to get the # of the place in California that got me my kit a few
weeks ago.
TIA
