Re: ...when restoring gauges, what do you use?
I haven't seen a needle repro'd but with all the trucks out there it's not too hard to find a good one...it pops off and on fairly easily.
For the chrome on the bezel, its' best to just buy a new bezel. You could have it rechrome but that'd cost in the hundreds....For a show truck trying to be 100% original...maybe.....
On the faces, I learned on here that the speedo and fuel were screened on and yes, the lettering wipes off easily with water so you have to be careful. The rest of the gauges are more durable.....but once they discolor...it's usually better to just find a better gauge because there's no cheap or easy way to repaint them.
They do make vinyl overlays in white with black markings and also in black with the lettering either white or light green so that's another option. whitegauges.net is the company that makes the vinyl overlays
