Re: 47-54 Gauges
no but i have 2 or 3 sets of 6 volters... botom line the cost for the 12v rebuild pieces will run you about the same as new gagues.... i personally don't want to buy all those little tiny parts and make a mistake installing them when i can get one built with a warenty for the same price
just my 2 cents GT

Re: 47-54 Gauges
I can understand that, I am going for the barn fresh look and wanted the gages to look barn fresh as well. Guess I will get a $$ from Classic Instruments for a rebuild vs new

Re: 47-54 Gauges
The gauges for the 47-53 should be cheaper than the 54-55 1st series. I could have bought the beazel kit for my 54 and ran the 47-53 gauges, but I wanted the 54 gauges. I also wanted them set up for 12 volt and had to switch from gear drive to electrical for the 700R4 trans. I had mine rebuilt at the tune of nearly $3,000.
