the old trucker:

  The gauges look similar to the Stewart Werner style that were in a lot of trucks. They could be bought with chrome or black trim. 

Cranman:
This speedometer is made by WALTHAM. My dad was an old railway man of that era and insisted on Waltham pocket watches for accuracy. I have one of these speedo's like new, got it from Darrell McLean,  to put in when I get around to making a new dash. Unfortunately they read at 2x the actual but that can now be corrected by that company in Saskatoon if you want to buy the gear converter. I likely won't bother.

kpm:
nice clean bombardier,where are you located at granpasboy?

granpasboy:
Cranman, I won't get the gearbox to make the speed read correctly.
kpm, I live north central North Dakota.
I like the look of the SW gauges. I drove the bomber to town tonight for a meeting,
one of the people in the meeting noticed a car stop to take pictures of it.

fisher:

      GPS' are easier for accuracy anyway. Maybe leave your's as is for authenticity. Bombadier speedos were always 2x the real speed.
