Unique Speedo and dash layout

[54reo]

Saw this while surfing the regular sites today.

Appears to also have some AF blue poking out in places?

The data tag shows quite an early date. It is simply amazing how long some of these workhorses have been bouncing around in the system, considering everything that has happened since the early '50's.

Pretty sure that layout is what is used to put the multi gauges in the gasser dash

Yes, That's a gasser dash.

Good thread, I just learned something!

The early gasser-to-multi dash had a couple of versions then.

I've seen the tach mounted over by the glove box or under the dash by a bracket as well.

First time I've seen that particular speedo though.

redline is too high for the multifuel.

All that means is the GI who put the sticker on put it in the wrong place....either that or the owner who put it on did it.

that speedo is hmmwv stuff. at least the gauge overlay is. the speedo is very new bc of it's KPH and stencil type.

The panel looks home-made. It is thicker than normal and does not have the stamped ridge around the edges. Nice layout though.

Here another one with ridge, also home-made. This was 15 years ago when I first found out that MF instrument panels are 2.5” to long for gasser dash boards… !
