C/40 and up should have them.

Re: 80 lbs oil gauge
Only way to know for sure is to pull the cluster and see. Usually the c40 and up with big blocks had them.

Re: 80 lbs oil gauge
I'd like to see how that gauge is different from the oil pressure gauge that is in my truck. I don't know what max pressure is, and would be curious to know.

Re: 80 lbs oil gauge
C10-30 trucks have 60 lb gauges, faces are the same. Only way to tell is pull it from the cluster like Eric stated, and the lower portion of the face will be stamped with a part number and either 60 or 80 lb. I put 80 lb gauges in all my trucks, the nice thing about them is they don’t peg out at start up.

Re: 80 lbs oil gauge
Good to know. Mine also pegs at startup. It's done it forever, so I guess it isn't an issue. Not sure I like it, though. I've seen oil filters bloat from excessive pressure (not on this truck, though).
