I think it can be done by just changing the ring and pinion gear. Trouble is....it has a 12 bolt ringear and I can't find one like it. I think it is a Rockwell rearend. I been thinking about putting 9:00 X 16 tires on it That would help some Anybody familiar with this rear axle? It's got a BIG U-joint One cross is big and the other is regular size thanks ya'll Eddie - Curtis Morris wrote: > Del and Glenn, > Thanks guys for the information.

It is the same as the one Ford uses. It is about $18.00 and works quite well. I have one in my 52 F-1 and it works fine. -----Original Message----- From: JRFiero aol.com To: pre61-list ford-trucks.com Date: Tuesday, July 11, 2000 9:23 PM Subject: [pre61-list] Re: dash gauge wiring, 6-12 volt >In a message dated 7/8/2000 12:25:42 AM Eastern Daylight Time, >PWPTRUCK1 aol.com writes: > >> I need to try to run my 6 volt gauges on a 12 volt system on >> my '52.

Got my guages to work finally except for the ampere gauge. The 52 has no wire connections. It has a metal ring in the back where the wire simply passes through it. My book says it works off the magnetic field from the wire. Any suggestions? How do you test this thing? Also, I would like to replace the chrome trim rings around my gauges. Old ones are rusty and pitted. Is there anyone that sells new rings?

My book says it works off the magnetic field from >the wire. Any suggestions? How do you test this thing? Put a wire through the loop, connect it to something (don't just short the two battery terminals together -- run it through a test lamp), and the needle should move. A larger lamp (like a headlight) will draw more current and make the needle move more. Are you using a completely stock wiring set up? I know the stock wiring for a 35 puts the ammeter between the generator cutout and the fuse block so it wouldn't measure current going to the starter motor, but does measure current used to feed the headlights. If you did something like put in a one wire alternator connected directly to the battery, and picked up your main electrical feed from the battery, the ammeter will show the current used by the electrical system, not the battery charging rate from the alternator.

You need to disconnect the wire passing through the metal ring, pass it through from the opposite direction, and reconect it.
