I found this at a swap meet and mounted in on the column of my '55 Studebaker truck. I don't know if it works yet but I will crank the truck soon and find out.

I'm a little closer to cranking it up and finding out if they/it works. Today I got the steering and the shift linkage finished up. Next comes the complete brake rebuild/replace including mounting the booster and master cylinder.
 
I too like the old style gauges with that old font. But that gauge there is cool, what are the functions? What does all that stuff say/tell you?

I am awaiting my little 0-30 ohm fuel level gauge from Summit. Right now my fuel gauge is a hose.
 
The gas gauge for our all original, stock '21 Model T always works. I bought the original off Ebay and made one from a large paint stirring stick to actually use. The numbers are the gallons. They were marked differently for the different size and shape tanks for the various body style Model Ts.

That is cool! I had no idea that was used then but it makes sense. Just installed my gauge.
 
There is another swap meet at the same location that I found that gauge(s) next weekend. I plan to go back. It's about an hour and a half drive, but worth it.
