Specifically looking for fuel, water temp and ammeter gauges. Will go in 1964 B53S. DM me if you have something available!

if the rest of the truck is any  where as nice as the dash looks, sure hope we get to see it.

elgrandejefe, Welcome to BMT.    Now as mechohaulic said about the pictures. We require multiple pictures (not really) when you join. But hey!! More is always better.    .....Hippy

You might want to search the web Stewart warner has retro gauges available. They are very nice looking and very close to original as far as stock goes. Good luck that’s all I got and yes that looks like quite the ride. Photos welcome ha ha… bob

Lots of them on Ebay. They were not proprietary, just Stewart Warner gauges, the older ones had a slightly different font than the newer ones (older ones had fatter numbers and not as "white" but that could have been due to age). Here is an example and you get a bulldog speedo in the deal. Looks like an early R model dash. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335100798247?hash=item4e05906527:g:jaMAAOSwC1JlQ8wV&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0IyRG5vG6w3H6B08TZr16%2BCXwtYzRcI%2BFjHBv6JtSWJIeXDD6Njm%2FumI6ivW8T3abSABd5WNF96PU6BZAOujc2klCSMLneyn2uraWOOX6kxd8bqe9UAARDI6A03NAQIram374H7426geT18VmRTPxa6SmwZ8XS9EleOdtkIO%2FsWWwe1O0cyP%2B%2FhtCGDCAtU0WkkWOWhdzWJch1vF%2BIBP5tDmQnlK4h6sR2E7dmoCzRxWzszoRXN7yLdrpHdgOBWVJvNMv0T282IvUe1GYdAv7Y0%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR97Ior34Yg

The bezels might clean up but f they are pitted can be covered with something like this. https://www.amazon.ca/GG-Grand-General-68164-Freightliner/dp/B0878SQXRB/ref=sr_1_14?hvadid=600273239941&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9001287&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=13379524112870365913&hvtargid=kwd-700145194245&hydadcr=15053_13565510&keywords=peterbilt%2Bgauge%2Bcovers&qid=1699798091&sr=8-14&th=1

Looks like you have a Stuart Warner volt gauge I would stick with it I had an amp gauge and it shorted while I was driving and caught the truck on fire was able to pull over and disconnect the batteries had to cut all the heavy wire out of the cab now I just pick up voltage anywhere

[elgrandejefe]

Thanks for the great info! I will do an intro post and put more pictures up.

The installed gauges are functional, I want to get back to a stock look. 

@Mean Green thanks for the heads up on the risk with ammeter! I wouldn’t have known they were a risk.
