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...

hello Juergen, I did not know about he speedometer adapters. Interesting. However, I only have the speedometer and not the car to drive. I want to calibrated the speedometer by changing the hairspring stiffness or the magnetization of the magnet. Greetings Hans

Hello I do have a speedometer like that also with 100 max. and shiftpoints. It proved to be a KPH (Kilometers per hour) speedometer, 60 MPH being around 100 KMH. There was a KPH indication under the pointer. I did start a discussion on it and you can find a picture of it...

Hello 38 Coupe, That is really smart! And indeed it can work. You can use a drill but it is not easy to work with so I do have a specially made motor that provides 0 to 1000 rpm. This is great for calibrating the MB/GPW speedometers. They do 60 mph at 1000 rpm. I could use it for the...

Re: Speedometer face plates 1940-1947 Hello Fordyford, You are very right. Only in 1940 they did use a BATT gauge (volt meter). Afterwards it were AMP gauges. I knew that one moment in time they did go from 50 psi to 80 psi gauges but I did not know it was 1944. Nice info! Also the...

Hello Thank you for the link. Yes, probably these guys know about the transmission gear ratio to speed. But as I plan to calibrate the speedometer myself and I am not able to send it to Rusty, I doubt that they will give me he information. Is there not a technical manual or so that would...
