Temp gauge question

[fireguyfire]

So I’m wanting to keep my gauges and dash 100% factory looking in my 1940 1/2 ton. When I bought the truck the tube from the temp gauge was broken, looks like years ago.

im wanting to use the factory temp and oil pressure gauge, but it looks like the gauge, tube and temp sensor that threads into the side of the head are a 1 piece system.

Can anyone suggest a way that I can keep my factory gauges, but make the temp gauge function again?

It can be repaired either by a shop or by DIY splicing a donor gauge onto yours. There are directions on Tods website.

Works the same way for your style gauge:

Not specific to my style of gauge, but it’s great to confirm that the suggested repair will work on any style of gauge.
