Just a note- the '54 chevy oil pressure gauge has the same guts but a differant back (and 60 psi) as the earlier gauge. I just drilled out the rivets on mine and riveted the old face on the new gauge, and didn't have to repaint the needle.

I don't know if the gas gauge will work or not. If it has a permanent magnet in it it may deflect the wrong way, but it won't hurt it to try it out if you keep it below 6 volts.
