I was cruising through ebay looking at old truck parts and found this.

Shouldnt the oil gauge be at the bottom of the cluster, which makes the numbering on this backwards?

Or am I missing something? ohwell

Since this one is an electric gauge, wouldn't it be for another application other than a truck?

The 0 - 60psi would eliminate it from being a 47 to 53 gauge too,

GMC gauges read 0-60 because they were pressure lube. An electric temp gauge was optional, but I see no mention of an electric oil gauge 47-53.

Im curious now, and I like a good mystery. Does anyone have an idea of what application it might be for?

Possibly a GMC generator or pump or some other commercial application.
