Dash Gauges

good evening. i have a 1951 ford f1. its converted to 12 volt and i am almost finished rewiring the whole truck.

the last piece of the puzzle is the dash gauges. can the original gauges be converted to 12 volt as well? i have a 6 volt voltage reducer that came with my 12 volt kit, but if i dont need to use it, i wont. i have enough wires, relays, etc. under the dash, and if i can get the gauges converted, that would be great.

if it is possible, what about the fuel tank sending unit? can that be converted too?


thanks guys
