yep

I was hooping to clean up my original paint too, although got some surface rust on the letters. I'll try to clean up very gently and polish the old faces with cleaner wax or just wd-40... we'll see..

Great job Mark - as with the rest of the truck too!!!

I see that your truck has the same greyish gauge face as mine. I just had mine tidied up as the original paint was good. I had a flush-mounted indicator warning LED installed, which is barely noticeable unless lit (it's just below the '40').

I really look forward to seeing photos of your truck completed.

You didn't turn that sucker back to 000000?

heh, that what the OD read as long as I remember! It'll be fun to watch the first 1/10 click over after 40+ years!

You will have to wear sun glasses so the glare off the shiny chrome don't blind you. Looks great.

Those chrome gauges are fantastic. GREAT WORK! :) Mine are now glare resistant! One of many reasons trucks interest me is the individuality and creativity that exists. Dashes and colors are two such examples.
