The local parts stores have been no help with out a exact year and model of truck their from. Is there any way to id the gauges asto the maker. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | could we see some pictures? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 469 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 469 | Sorry I'cant post pictures right now but I did figure out that they are made by Sewart Warner. Would sending units for their after market gauges work for their comerical gauges? | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 1,624 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 1,624 | Gosh dude, You need to answer some questions. Are they electric or bulb type? If electric, you can use a varable resistor (often called a pot) to simulate a sender unit. Bulb type is another horse. You might also contact someone like John Wolf in Ohio or your favorite gauge repair person who could tell you what you will need. Another route may be to look in some old repair manuals. I purchased one off ebay which covers about all the gauges from '35 to '48. Not like today, it explains the "innards" of various manufactures of gauges. Ain't it fun! BTW, the old Stewart-Warner company is no more. I tried to talk old gauges to their sales reps at a car show and I knew more about their old gauges than they did.
