Does anyone know where I can buy a gauge for my 63. the dash came with the air pressure gauge but I'd like to put in a vacuum gauge.

There's lots of places to choose from...I'd go to Summit Racing and you can see their selection.

You have to buy one off of ebay, they don't repop them.

Well, that's what I'm finden too. Summit and the rest of the outlets have plenty of aftermarket ones, but no stock stuff. I can get em for the 70 C10 but not the 63. I'll just keep watchen, thanks guys.

Small fortune if you find an original one.
I put an early '60's Pontiac gauge into my '63 and it looks proper (and costs much less).

Greg.

I.ve heard about the Pontiac gauges, you got a pic?

Greg63 · 12-17-2015, 11:33 AM

I do but can't get to it from where I am right now.
If you search my past posts you will find one I put into another thread.

ok thanks guys

jonzcustomshop · 12-17-2015, 01:34 PM

so this guy sell reproduction decals for the gauge faces, I wonder if you could combine this repro sticker with an aftermarket vac gauge ?
http://www.60thru66chevytrucks.com/services.html

here is what he says about the sticker:
These are high quality decals made with 3M controltac, UV and fade resistant. The decals are die cut so that you can simply peel decal and place directly onto the gauge with little to no cutting required. They are printed in a matt black finish that is comparable to the OEM finish.

frankslagoon · 12-17-2015, 02:46 PM

I looked at these. I'm thinkin about it. I built one that looks ok but just picken everyones brain to see if I can find a stock one. I think that guy wants about 60 bucks for that kit.

ol_skool_chevy · 12-17-2015, 03:09 PM

I love the clock ideas but the guys doing the clock decals wont don't sell them I have not found anyone that has them.

I copied what chevyrestoguy did. Start reading at post #11.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=512259

Worked on my 66, so might be able to get it to work on your 63.

Adam1966C10 · 12-26-2015, 06:55 PM

This is how mine turned out.

frankslagoon · 12-26-2015, 07:29 PM

That's looks nice. only problem I have is the olds gauge is 0 to 24 and the decal you put on is a 0 to 30. so I don't think your gauge is reading correct. if that matters to ya. I bought the one on ebay, so I'll be putten it in soon as my shoulder repair heals up.
