1952 M38 Gauges

[ocwd]

I will be looking for a gauge cluster for my late 1952 M38 flat fender. Does any one have pictures of the proper gauges?

Thanks,

Dave

Depends on how proper is defined. The original clusters had 0-120 PSI oil pressure gages and amp meters. The Army replaced most 0-120 oil pressure gages with 0-60 units which also use a different sender. Many M series Willys jeeps were converted by the Army to run the transistorized voltage regulator and used a volt meter instead of an amp meter. The voltmeter has colored ranges. These elctrical gages used senders (often called transmitters or Transducers). In some cases the sender must be compatible with the gage you are using. If you want a quality cluster hand built to your specs call Kevin Emdee at Star Electric 1-270-877-0813 his email is kevin.emdee@comcast.net

How can the oil pressure senders be identified 60 vs 120?
I have not uncovered P/N's on any of mine yet.

The original senders were stamped with pressure and part number on the end... If you take a brass brush you should be able to find the info on it... if stamped...

Wes,

Thanks for the info. That helps. Pictures say a thousand words.
