Did ford make a electric water guage in 39, maybe a big truck, COE, thanks

Don't know about big trucks, but I'd think there wouldn't be two different gauge systems.

The COE used the same type temp gauge as the other vehicles, butI believe it differed in the length of the tube. It had a different part number than the pickup.

Are you putting us on? You found a gauge cluster and want to build a car around it?

The hump (do you have a name?) the gauges you show are all electric. Why do you ask?

Interesting gauge cluster.1939 was the last year Ford used the mechanical water temp gauge for pass and commercial std & deluxe.

the hump · 09-06-2013, 10:17 PM

still stumped, anyone help, both the temp and the oil guages are electric, Thanks TOM, had to come out of something

Well Deuce lover, I have learned something, and have duly edited my incorrect post.

Almost looks like a "commercial" application, such as maybe a big, long Ford bus, where a mechanical capillary tube would have to be 50' long. DD

that sounds more like it. would anyone out there know for sure, I'm using it in a 39 dash, Tom

For sure it's incorrect for a '39.
