aftermarked speedometer gauge

Does anyone know if anyone makes aftermarket white face speedometer gauges for an 82 ford? Gauges that say more than 85 on it? I was wanting a gauge that said atleast 120 on it.

thanks

If it went that high, it wouldn't be accurate, because the needle would still move like the original face. Besides; the old ('80-86) faces are debossed (raised), so you can't stick anything onto them.

You'd have to make your own face and then recalibrate the speedo. Much easier to just swap in a different speedo with a flat face. I use a '92-96 PSOM, but it requires an '87-96 rear axle to work. You can see it in my sig link in the 83 Bronco album.
