I think they were in the 56 Champions maybe as far as the '58s. They were the type that looked like an eye, they rotated kind of like a compass.sigpic

An example from 1957~
Yes, I know- the Hawk gauges don't belong there.
They were installed years before I was born, and I like them!!!
Though the housing is different- the 'guts' are the same from 1956 to 1958 for all Stude sedans and wagons.

I know I've got the housing - I just had it in my hand the other day. I'm not sure about the speedo guts tho.No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.Comment

They show up on EBay all the time.

Yup, internals are the same for the three years - only the housings changed. These will, BTW, fit onto a 59-60 Lark dash (with some surgery, of course) as well as all Champ trucks. I put one in the 8E Champ I owned 30 years ago.
BTW, Dave - I was intimating that I wasn't sure if I HAD the mechanics of one - not whether they were the same across the years.No deceptive flags to prove I'm patriotic - no biblical BS to impress - just ME and Studebakers - as it should be.Comment

An extra word or two would've made the sentence I quoted read completely different.
Sorry. No hard feelings I hope.
