Re: ...when restoring gauges, what do you use?

As far as the bezel, I spent $35 for a new one. (they are very nice too) As cheap as they are, I wouldn't waste ANY time trying to paint an original. For the white lettering, the cheapest way is to find some decent originals. You'll still have to paint the orange on the temp gauge. (seems like they always fade away) With as many of these trucks that were made, finding decent looking used gauges, isn't to hard to do.
