Two different types of gas gauge glass

[Tim Ayers]

I've noticed that I have two different type of glass for my gas gauge. One lens a magnifier and the other is flat. Is the one with the magnifier Ford or aftermarket?

[Gary Karr]

The magnifying glass was used after June 1928 through mid 1929 on gauges with horizontal oval openings.

I just renewed the markings on my gage. I always reuse the magnifier glass. Guess I'm getting older.

My semi-late '31 pickup has an inner nut that is hexagonal in shape, I used a large allen wrench to holt it as I tightened the large outer nut. Semi-late means it has all the late '31 features except still has the top insert instead of being all metal.
