Thanks for the post- I can see the gauges but not really enough detail to recognize at a swap meet, or internet Anyone have a closer shot or can guide me to a pic/website?

Hi Dave,

Bob in Canada took some shots of his [late KC] gauges for u.

He asked me to post them.

Here goes.

I used a GM 30s something speedo because it fits right in. I reused the original KC speedo needle on the GM speedo. The bezel photo is to show the similarity of the hole size but the different appearance of the two brands.

What is your location?

[Manuel]

What body style is your KC?

I am in western NC. I have a 1/2 ton kc (late 35) I am restoring to original and a replacing rusty floors currently. I found a # on the L front door pillar that starts "NCS" then a number. I have no history on this truck but it was army green (1st repaint after factory black) so I wondr if its a military ID number. Anyone know?

What are your engine & chassis numbers?

They should tell us a bit about your car.

No serial # plate was on the vehicle on purchase and I have yet to find any chassis numbers. Engine is a flathead 6 dated around 1952. Prev owner died and widow sold me the truck so history stops around 5 yrs ago. I live in NC so maybe NCS is a North Carolina State # of sorts.

Have a look on the [oil filler] side of the engine.

Right at the front, where the head meets the block. There is a raised pad.

Give it a good clean. Should be some letters and then nos.

It will be hard to make out, but on the driver side of the frame between the rear shackle of the front spring and the running board front bracket you will/should find the frame serial number stamped.  numbers are about 3/4" tall and (for me) very hard to spot..

 

I've attached pictures of my gauges.
