Hi all,
Jack, your gauge is the earlier civilian type (I'm sure you know that). The later gauges were, more or less, standard military issue. I don't know when the change happened. John, if your 980 has the later gauges, then finding replacements will be significantly easier as they were used on many US WW2 trucks. They use the wide bezel (a.k.a. 'paint tin lid') type for the 2" gauges. I'm building a DT969 (at Childers) that uses many of the same gauges. Lionel, is your truck the one at the transport place in Bundy north? I've been there. Sam. Last edited by Sam Scholz; 01-01-17 at 01:52. Reason: incomplete.

Sam I looked a little further into the parts list (and managed a look under the dash) and this gauge is actually a cluster face with one gauge in the centre and the other three mounted around the edges, not in the body of the gauge. I have found someone who can reproduce the face and the separate units can probably be restored or replaced. Unless a NOS assembly turns up.

Hi Lionel,
It has been a while. Hi Jack. Lionel, it was a transport company indigenous to Bundaberg and they had two 1960s Diamond Reos, I think. Their workshop is in Bundy North, backing onto the river upstream from the railway bridge. It was a while ago. I've been working in Bundaberg for the last month and a half. I should go and have a look again. Sam.
