Gauges with km/h
Hi,
Any one out there know of a company selling backgrounds for my 66 with kilometers per hour instead of mph? /Thomas Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Gauges with km/h
Jason at Greenback Decal can have the kilometer graphics silkscreened onto a blank stock lens. He custom built a tach for me that looks and fits like stock but reads 10K instead of 5K. He is working on a 160 mph lens that looks stock, so I know that he would be able to do the KPH graphics as well.

Re: Gauges with km/h
If you go to the international section and follow the link to Argentina, their trucks came with km`s in the dash of their 64-66 series. Their a riot to try and converse with. They prefer you ask questions in English because the Google translator sometimes doesn`t make sence.

Re: Gauges with km/h
Hello Thomas,
I'm pretty much down the same problems on my truck, I have the 62 truck and it's is a different gauge cluster. The best option and probably cheapest is to go to a company that makes commercial signs and decals and ask for a piece of clear pvc (plexiglas) to cut it in the same shape as the original and see if they can print a new scales for you. (I presume that the scale is printed on the glass as it is on my truck) Btw, would be nice to meet some day next summer! I'm not that far away from you!
