The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop NOS gauge set on ebay

111261148119 is the number, there is 12 hours left, but it doesn't appear the reserve will be met. if anyone is interested

This unit was on Ebay a couple of months ago. I recognize it by the off color of the gas gauge. Makes me wonder if it had been replaced.

The fuel cluster color doesn't match the rest of the gauge.

Greetings from New Jersey,

Here's some photos of the gauge on ebay.

Yeah, there were a few inconsistencies, in the wording and the pictures, But it might bear looking into if you need a set.

With a 60 Lb oil gauge makes it a GMC cluster.

Did GMC use those colors?

Used "gasoline" instead of fuel?

Dave, wouldn't a 54 and beyond use a 60 PSI gauge? However isn't that about the same time they changed the gauge design? It also says it is for 12 volt, (I think) the ammeter wouldn't care if it was 6 or 12 however the gas gauge would have to be 12 volt specific (here again I think this is the case) So I don't really believe it is an actual NOS set that has been in the box for 68 years as stated. But is a decent looking set nonetheless.

That's right - the gauge style changed in 1954 (different new styles for Chevrolet trucks and GMC). That was also the year the high pressure Chevrolet 235 and the 261 became available in Chevrolet trucks (GMC 6-cylinder engines were higher pressure already).

The water temp gauge in that "original NOS set" has the mechanical water temp sender but it looks like an electrical sender connection for the oil pressure (which I think GMC might have had with that pre-54-style gauge).

The subject gage set is resting on "F". Don't the stock fuel gages default or rest at "E" while some of the repo's default to "F"?

See this tech tip for reference:

I am not a GMC expert but I am almost certain 1948-53 GMC's came with this color gauges. If not I know some Chevrolet Forward Control trucks used this style gauges much later than 1953. That may mean the gas gauge could be 12 volts and a 60PSI oil gauge.
Tim, there are two gauges that have terminals on the back, temp and amp. The square connection closest to you is the mechanical oil gauge connection.
Brokenhead, ammeters do not care if they are 6 or 12 volt, the gas gauge does for sure.

According to the online GM parts wiki it is a GMC set for 100-22, 150-22 etc. The 22 means 228 engine which means '53 or older which means 6V.

Dave, you are right about these gauges being used later. I saw a '60 something school bus with them. Definitely 12V on those.

Thanks, Dave,

I now see the port/fitting for the mechanical oil pressure line.

However, my guess is that the two gauges that have terminals on the back are the fuel gauge and the ammeter.

I think the temperature sender is mechanical (not electrical as used on some (at least in 1954 6v) GMCs?) and is shown as the line/tube with the square-nut above the sensor that goes into the head.

I've just striped and rebuilt the gauges on my 1950 GMC 150. While the lettering is the same, the colour is not. Mine has Beige dials with a brown middle. Both Oil and Water are Mechanical.
