1956 Dash Question
Hi. I have a 56 f100 that was a one family owned rig. It had been sitting for 50 years and I am just getting around to cleaning it up. On the dash there are 2 gauges that look just as old as the rest, and I was wondering if anyone knew if these could be a factory option or dealer install? Just trying to find out. Thanks!

I say, neither. They were owner installed at some point becasue the ones in the instrument panel were simply idiot lights.

That was sort of my guess, but I didn't know for sure. Thanks!
