No its not a 1 ton. Its a 1/2 ton 3100 Thriftmaster type. I think the engine is a 1962. Its still a 6 cyl. stovebolt type. i think its bigger than the orig. Has a 12v.system now w/turn signals. Although the guages all blew out [save the bat.gage] I guess cuz they were the 6v. ones.

If your oil pressure and water temp guages don't work its not likely the problem is directly related to the 12 volt conversion.

Do they simply do nothing?
First I'd check to make sure the tubes are intact and connected, and have no kinks.
