Air Pressure Gauge Q

[davepl]

I just picked up an "AIR PRESSURE" gauge dash, and it says it has a 60psi oil gauge. The other gauge is labelled 0-150.

Does that mean the air pressure gauge is the 0-150 unit?

yes. In earlier years (i.e. the 60-66 medium duty trucks), the 150 psi gauge was actually labeled "AIR" right on the gauge - but in 67-72 medium duty, the label would have been printed on the clear plastic instrument lens - just like the other gauges.
Air pressure gauges weren't a light duty thing, but some folks have adapted them in the unused opening of the instrument cluster of C/K10-30s. Unfortunately, I don't think the Air Pressure instrument lenses are reproduced, but not certain about that. I bet TBone1964 would know if they are available somewhere, might ask him.

Only OE as far as I know. I keep up with Counterpart on a regular basis. No reproduction gauge or lens for air set up.

I am not sure but they may only be available with a tach. I don't recall seeing one that had air but no tach. I have seen several non tach clusters with vacuum gauges but not for air.

i have a tach cluster with air gauge, i think they were for head trucks with air brakes, i am going to use it on my c30 flat deck "Inbred Jed" and mount an air compressor for work(carpentry tools)
