My project parts truck speedo was pretty much junk. The original 50 cab was a mess, so I got a stripped 51 cab with title. The 0-80 gauge face was bleached and the guts were corroded. The glass, chrome trim and body was salvageable. I ordered 0-90 face and guts from Classic Parts, I think. So many vendors that carry a variety but I imaging most are the exact same part from the same manufacturer. They are calbrated to work as a pair. If your face looks savable, just order 0-80 guts, but this would be the time to replace it and the needle. Make sure you don't lose the two tiny face screws. They are a weird thread. I re-set the new odometer to the original old mileage. I know you are NOT supposed to do that, But for a 70+ year old vehicle, I don't think it matters much. I'm not making a brand new truck. The needle is just pressed in, but now I wish I put a bit of epoxy on it before hand. I don't want to experience what you are going thru, with bouncy needles and all.
