Speedometer cluster restore
Good morning, I am thinking of getting my gauge cluster for a 1950 F1 restored. Any suggestions on a reasonable price, quality work shop I can send it to. Thanks for any help. Tom

Ah, Helenville. How did I miss a new-ish member from Jefferson County? Welcome from a native of the area.
To your question, a fellow who does restos often lists items on the Swap Meet section (Early V8 version) on the Ford Barn. He has a current ad for exactly your piece. I have bought a speedo from him for another project and have been pleased with his work. His contact info: Bill Wells bwells4608@comcast.net
The listing: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=269121
There is also a shop in Milwaukee - Speedometer Service - that restores Harley and other vintage sets. The item I needed restored was beyond saving though. I haven't seen their finished product but he has a trade outside the area with a fairly picky cycle crowd. URL: http://www.speedometersolutions.com/
Have we seen pics of your truck?

Thanks forty niner, I'm actually closer to Rome, if you know where that is. Helenville is about 10 miles from me. Weird mailing addresses. Anyway, I see he has one for a reasonable price. I'm looking to see if I can just buy the speedo, I have found one but not sure if it will work. May be better off just getting a whole new cluster. Anyway, thanks, I will look Bill up to see what he has. Hopefully pictures will be in the near future.
