I'm suffering terminal, or at least mildly disconcerting, brain fade. Which year dash had the gunsight speedometer needle? Oh yeah, and I need one of those dashes.

Thanks,

Charlie

49 and 50, although the speedos are not exactly the same. The one below, correct?
Welcome to hell. Here's your accordion.

Slocro answered with pics from eBay. The dashes are essentially the same but the '51 speedo has the circle on the end of the pointy thing. LOL.

I can add a little to this. The 51 dash speedo is larger diameter than the 49-50. I have a 50 dash that awaits cutting to install in the 32. I bought a pretty good 51 dash with a great gauge cluster. Boy, was I disappointed to find out they were different.

'49 and '50 dashes are the same.
'51 is completely different.
