Temp gauge not working Chevy C15

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Guys

Take a look over by the right hand winshield post, that is where the line was
on my Pat 12 C60L. Take a look at the pictures on http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/C...Windscreen.htm I'll try and find some better pictures on main computer and post them later.

Cheers Phil

Hi Phil
Your right I can see line making a bend on the post. I am going out
to see if I have a drilled out hole on that side! Since
my windshield is non opening, I may take Bobs advise and drill
near the center. I'm puzzled because I have the original T with
tubing(I think original) that I have mounted but no hole.
Was this truck bought at Walmart? Ha ha
Cheers

Hi Terry

The center would make more sense it would be nearest the vacuum port on the manifold. If there is a hole near the windshield post but has the T in the middle then I might suspect that the windshield frame had been swapped at some point. It is not a very strong design.

Bob and I looked at one of his Cab12s today. Phil's statement about tube attached to right pillar matches that truck. The T fitting was located just inboard of the right wiper motor. Check to see if there is evidence of a centre hole being welded over as Bob's 12 had both holes with tube at right and centre welded (brazed?) over. Photos to follow.

No evidence of holes anywhere, not even welded over,I
think I will plumb the tube down the center as suggested.
I should visit the sister truck about 45 minutes east, and have a look;
I would also like to see if it has capillary tube or electric
heat gauge. The truck is identical to mine but is for parts only.
The owner wants me to buy it but there is nothing I really need
on it other than an inside door handle!

I will post a pic of a Ford
wiper plumbing, taken at an old farm junkyard in S.Alta.
