I have a couple of instrument clusters and need a bit of info before I put them up for sale. On one the ammeter is D & C on the other 50 plus to 50 minus. Oil pressure is different also, as are the lengths of the gage needles.

I am concerned that these may have been assembled from parts and don't want to mislead anyone. Some help please? Thanks

Chevrolet gauge with D & C

GMC gauge with +50 to -50

What are the background colors of your gauges? It looks like they are the same/similar colors? Someone else will have to comment on the years (if any) that GMC and Chevrolet had the same background-color gauges (maybe 52-53?).

It looks like one oil pressure is 0-60 (for GMC?) and the other is 0-30 (Chevrolet).

Maybe someone put an 0-60 Chevrolet after-market oil-pressure gauge in that cluster?

My 52 GMC gauges are the same color as the Chevy but the giveaway that at least the oil pressure gauge is GMC is the 60 lb oil pressure. Another difference is GMC in 52 labeled the cluster surround below the gas gauge as "fuel" not "gasoline" - if you have the surround.
