Hello, Rusty is definitely a good option. And he is in the US. For the complete cluster I can do it also, but I am in Belgium. Any year, any type. Rusty and I can work together. Send me a PM. Greetings Hans Looking for a GP cluster?

Do they have a 0-50-80 oil gauge and a Tacoma Cream bezel? Gr Hans Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

Yes, you are correct. As you will know from 19Fordy, in Ford Trucks the BATT gauges was replaced starting 1941 (end of 1940?) with an AMP gauge. In he CMP however this was not the case. The CMP clusters continued to use the BATT gauge until the clusters were changed in what you call the...

Thank you 19Fordy, I use Coreldraw (a 30 USD/month software) to trace the latest detail. I think I am a little autistic :confused: Anyway, the biggest challenge is not the tracing. That is just a matter of time and attention to detail. The biggest challenge is the printing and the quality...

Hello, I started this thread long time ago and I posted some pictures of faceplates. Today I add a face plate that was not in the collection yet. It is a 60 mph 1940 faceplate for Waltham speedometer. It is for a 4-speed truck as you can see. Greetings Hans

Hello expavr, GB SISSON and cas3, What a wealth of information! Exactly the answers I was looking for (and much more). Thanks a lot! I appreciate. Greetings Hans

Hello, I am restoring the gauge clusters used in 1940-1947 trucks. I did already start some discussions on this (https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=323279&highlight=clusters) but still not yet everything is clear to me: The 60 mph speedometers have gear shift indications and as...

Hello Scooder Thank you very much for this. It has been a while and I lost track of the posts. Sorry. Luckily you did send me the PM so I found your pictures and comments. The AMP gauge face plates are brass. That is normal because the way a AMP meter works is that the magnetic field...

Thank you for that info. I do not know what 1940 bulb sockets have to look like. The bulb socket in the picture is from a King Seeley speedometer based 1946 cluster. How did you notice the difference? What is different? Greetings Hans

Yep, That is a good source. They have the sockets and many more things. Thank you Bookmark!

Thank you all for your help. I am contacting the contacts and see what they come up with. In the meantime I (think I) did find some on the auction site looking for "VINTAGE GAUGE DASH LIGHT SOCKET REPAIR X6 Pc KIT RAT ROD HOT TRUCK SUN TACH LITE" They have the correct diameter so ... maybe...

Hello, I am restoring Ford truck gauge clusters. I am looking for a source for the sockets and bulbs as used in 1940 to 1947 gauge cluster trucks. This is a picture: This is what t looks like inside the cluster: Thank you for your help. Greetings Hans

Hello To make the contents of this thread more complete I add the picture of a 100 mph Waltham face plate: I still hope to receive a good picture of the 1940 style AMP gauge. Please... Greetings Hans

Hello Scooder, Is it possible you make a picture of the AMP meter outside the casing? Like this: or you can send one to me PM? Thanks Hans

Hello Fritz, No I do not have that 1940 style AMP meter. The cluster had a 1941-1946 style AMP meter. The rest is 1940 style. I am replacing the 1941-1946 AMP with a 1940 BATT gauge. The 1940 style AMP is probably something late 1940 early 1941, just before they decided that AMP gauges are...
