    While looking for a car part in my pile of junk I ran across these gauges. I remember buying them around ’71 or ’72. Anyone remember these Cal Custom “Hawk Brute” gauges?

    Don't remember those, but I have a couple Arrow gauges in my '69 CJ Fairlane, bought around '73...

    You find that dialer in your junk as well??? We have three of those IN SERVICE here...

    The phone came from eBay few years ago. We have Vonage and naked line for the DSL so its not hooked up.

    The pods hang under the dash. I had them in my Falcon is the reason I never needed to buy the temp gauge.

    Back at that time I had Dixco gauges, couldn't afford the Stewert Warner, Sun or even Cal Custom. LOL
