1946 1/2 ton Chevrolet.

I have noticed some 41-46 trucks have the little red 'overheat symbol' for the temperature gauge. Mine does not and I've seen about the same amount of trucks with and without the red overheat bar.

Any ideas which one is correct? Maybe both and different factories made both? Maybe a question for the ages. ohwell

As my friends say about my truck, getting close to ZIZ is bad (rhymes with fizz, meaning 212). wink

See pics here. Mine is the one in the lower left corner, the gauge itself is from Jim Carter (which includes red warning bar), the other is a random example I found on the net. A picture is worth a thousand words to explain what I meant.

Thanks Stovebolters!
