have 4:10's in the '48 dually. I see that 50's 6 cyl chrysler car pumpkin fits the 1/2 and 3/4 ton, but not 1 ton. any other option than changing whole rear end, which i wouldn't do because want to keep original? sorry if its same old question, did research but need clarifying and then ill just live with 40mph, thank you guys, Dave in squamish.

just installed the original gauge after soldering on the new tube from donor gauge. wanted to thank y'all again for informative instructions and support. tested in boiling water then installed, no leaks and after all these years all the gauges work. will keep going on rest of truck, Dave.

o.k. back on track, thanks for the help, awesome article, informative and gives one confidence, will proceed and let y'all know how it,s going, will check threaded hole to determine what happened... thx Dave.

hey thanks,realized that the bulb is broken off both the gauge and on the parts head, hence the confusion. so now it's solder a bulb to the tube? thx, Dave.

trying to connect coil over tube type temp gauge, 48 truck, the hole in the head is 3/4", was plugged with a bolt. the end of the tube that is to connect to the head doesnt have a bulb, instead looks like a small nipple. connected it to a flared reducer and it leaks coolant. an old head i have around seems to have this same nipple type welded to the head itself. also have bulb type unit but for older truck so wont fit in gauge cluster. any info appreciated, thank you, Dave in squamish B.C. canada.

just bolted on the manifolds,had outer flang on exh. break off-iron worker al custom welded new ear,painted with eastwoods high temp aerosol-good product-got fuel gauge working, now the temp. gauge tube broken, anyone have a replacement? trade for olympic tickets?...haha thank yall, d.t.

thanks for info,will hunt down something somewhere,cheers,super
