Speedo question

1960 gauges w/idiot lights:

I took out my gauge cluster to replace the burned out bulbs and to see what happened to the speedometer needle (missing?). When I got the center cluster out of the instrument panel I found that the needle was broken in half, and that the point part was just laying inside the cluster. Hmmm??

I super-glued the needle back together, replaced the bulbs and put it back in the truck. This weekend on my first drive since, the speedometer needle moved COUNTER clockwise and buried itself below "0". Hmmmmmm????

Are any of these trucks designed differently - have a CCW gear drive in the trans? Different SIDE of the trans? WTF?

Anyone had this happen or is the plastic gear in mine for some other application? Strange indeed.
