Voltmeter conversion

A couple years back someone was making voltmeter conversions for these trucks, but I can't find them now.
They took a square body gauge and swapped face plates and needles, then had an overlay sticker for it to reflect voltage.

Anyone know if they are still making them? or at least making the overlay sticker?

It covers what you need to do for the conversion.

Re: Voltmeter conversion

I used a voltmeter from a square body truck. It was not a trivial job, but turned out fine.
