Default instrument cluster....

Hi,
Had saved back,(what I thought was), a very nice instrument cluster for use on the C8. This one had a bare steel bezel around the glass instead of the chrome. Came from a '46 1.5 ton model.
Pulled it apart to remove the dust, and every marking on the cluster glass dissolved with one light pass of a paper towell. The odometer numbers also fell off with just a touch...
Ordered a new instrument cluster glass and gauge decal kit from Chevs of the '40s. It also contained the odometer decals.
Cleaned everything, installed decals and painted all the components that needed it.
Learned also that it is probably best to not drink beer during gauge and speedometer repairs.....
Thanks, David
