Projects Picture request: Ford 1933/1934 dash with 1937/1938/1939 gauges?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Dannerr, Feb 16, 2025.

  1. I’ve had this idea of putting ‘39 gauges in a ‘34 dash, but would like reference pictures, if anyone is holding?

    thanx in advance!

    BR, Dannerr

  6. Would you mind giving it another go, @Tim ? Have been looking at this picture on every toilet break since saturday, and now I also are annoyed with the out-of-center tach!

    Cool :) I mostly tried to make the center gauge have the center line up with the centers of two on the left half

  13. As I wanted- again, thanx a million! :D

    Thank you, @Ford72! :D

    The story is- I found the tach at a swap meet in April 2016, and at some point, I noted, that ‘39 standard (as I could google) looked awfully similar. When I was kicking about these ‘34 dashes, that I bought semi-local, I tried the tach, but it was too small- so I finally dug up an old add for a set and ordered them- thanks for the deal, @ironandsteele! :D
    While waiting for them to arrive at shippers, to be consolidated with a spare oil+temp+amp+gas gauge and a crusty glove box door, I thought that someone might have done this already, and someone else might have taken a picture of that- therefore this thread is a picture request. :)

    Will update, as the project progresses, but don’t hold your breath- it WILL take a while, most likely years, before commencing. :D
