Just a word of warning to all. If you send your gauges into into Jim Carter Truck Parts be explicit on your paperwork of any work you want performed.
I have a 1949 Chevy with 23k original miles.
I called, spoke to sales agent discussed having my original gauges rebuilt and stated I wanted to maintain the mileage. The sales agent stated all I needed to do was send my gauges in and they would call me before performing any work.
So I sent both of my 1949 Chevy gauge clusters in for rebuild.
After 3 weeks I had not received a call so I called Jim Carter parts and was told the person who restores the gauge clusters was unavailable but they would leave them a message and would have them call me right back.
I never received a call. So 3 days later I called back and was told my gauges are done and have been shipped. While I appreciate the fast turn around, I never got the "call before we do any work".
My speedometer came back set to 00000000 and slightly off center.
When I called Jim Carter they informed me that since I didn't explicitly state on my note to them what I wanted the mileage set to, the assumed I wanted a 000000 rollback. I asked if I could ship the gauge back to have the mileage set correctly I was informed that would cost me another rebuild.... They suggest I hook the speedometer up to a drill to reach the desired mileage ugh!!!!
To some degree, this is my fault because I listened to the sales agent and didn't write down the mileage I wanted.
Lesson learned on my end.
