Clear needle fuel gauge

Fuel gauges were standard equipment on ambulances all the back into the barndoor era. That is why they have a 271 parts number. They could be service installed on any bus of any year.

If you are using an accessory fuel gauge with the flat bezel, you can use an accessory gauge bracket and hang it under the dash. or just get the hole saw out and hack away. I saw a guy install two gauges behind the radio hole in his bus so he didn't have to cut a hole.

Does that have the curved bezel ?

[EverettB]

Yes, it doesn't match the speedo but is different than a later stock gauge

Here's an Accessory Bus gas gauge kit, NOS

Yeah, I agree, clear needle buses never came with gas gauges so the market demand probably isn't high enough for someone to tool up to make them. Accessory fuel gauges of that era that I've seen aren't even a clear needle style. I know absolutely nothing about 3D printing but you might have to get one custom made by someone that does that kind of stuff.

Is there anyone in the works of making a fuel gauge that matches an early speedo?
