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.

G'day Sam,

Wow another MLU person and so close to Bundaberg - hooray!

Ummm which transport place in Bundaberg North? Gee I have to get out more!

Kind Regards
Lionel
