Refurbishing Speedometer Faces

[Kraig]

Does anyone know of a source that refurbishes Dodge Truck speedometers.

 

I've attached pictures of 2 speedometer I want to have the faces refurbished.

forum member B1B Keven used to make decals for the speedos.  you could contact him to see if he still sells them.

I bought a set of decals from DCM last month. They look pretty good. You do have to carefully remove the pointer to install it on the speedometer. 

The invoice lists them as: 

G-761 Gauge transfer decals 51-53

They were for the speedometer and all four gauges. They are $30 plus $10 for shipping.

Speaking of speedometers; There is an ebay listing for an NOS speedometer for 54-68 Dodge trucks for $75. He has multiple units. They are in KPH but I'm sure the DCM decal would work well to convert them to MPH. I bought one and it is the same footprint as my 51 and 52 trucks. It is just painted black instead of chrome around the outside.

If you have any computer skills, picture software and a printer you can make your own decals.  Scan your best speedometer face.  Use the image software to clean it up and make it darker.  You can print your own decals.  Any office supply store sells sticker paper that will work in your at home printer.  I printed my own speedometer decal for my 47 WC because I could not find any ready made.  They turned out great. I could only find them for later years.  It took me 30 minutes and a pack of sticker paper is about $5-$8.

Thanks for your response.  I'll look into this as I have several old speedometers and gauge clusters that need refacing.
