    Bought a parts truck a whole back, and it came with an interesting set of gauges (speedometer mainly). I've searched around to see where they came from, or who made them. Haven't had any luck identifying them, maybe someone here could help. The speedometer goes up to 120mph! Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    For export trucks, sure.

    Here's a photo of one from a '72

    Interesting...

    In Canada we only got km/h gauges starting in '77 or '78, pretty sure the latter. My 52 is a Canadian model and it's still in mph. Must be from really far away! :)

    Gotta be a Joke

    I love it! It is probably a joke. This is something I would do...had I thought of it. ...Yes, it could be kms, but it would be a much better item, if it was some jokester from the 50's...Cool! And, if it is ... you would not want to change it...Cool!

    Gauge is a remake !

    Hey there

    If your speedometer gauge is the original one and has not been rebuild you can check it out how many meters the trip teller counts on 1 km , a 1000 meter or after a mile 1600 meters ?
    Bills link to the speedometer shop shows a gauge excactly like the one you have. Its an aftermarked remake most likely runs m/ph.

    Thanks to Bill
