Gauge interchange

Have this 48 and need a different set of gauges and speedometer. Will they interchange all the way to 54?

Re: Gauge interchange

47/51 had 80 mph speedometers and a 30 lb oil pressure gauge. 52/53 had 90 mph speedometers and some had 30 lb oil gauges while others had 60 lb oil gauges.

Some had cream faces and some had brown faces but the info I had doesn't jive with the cabs I have so I'm not sure on the year to year there.

Re: Gauge interchange

Thank you guys. Not so worried about originality right now, just getting things operable, so I'll watch for a decent used set in the classifieds.
