My truck is a 48 chevy, that I need upgraded to long tube (and stay mechanical) oil and temperature gauges and make everything 12 volts. And have the speedometer read 80 or 90, in black

Happy to tell you more about this procedure. Also, some of the 6v gauges may be fine without converting to 12v. Also, you can see where I've converted the AD speedometer into more/less a drop in GPS speedometer that looks very much like original and is designed to work on 12v. Sort of depends on how much you want to do yourself.
