    hello fellow rust chasers. I am slowly getting the inside of my cab on my jimmy put back together, I have hit a snag on the fittings and tubing to put the oil pressure gauge back together. The local parts store children dont have much of a clue. Anybody help me out here? I am using the stock gauge and I have a 350 engine.

    I simply re-used the stock compression fittings and went to my brake jobber's and had them order up a piece of stainless steel tubing , the correct original stuff was steel , some folks unwisely use copper tubing (cracks & leaks) .

    You can still find the stock stuff on later trucks in junkyards if you do choose , just get new ferrules from the hardware store and you're good to go .
