Default GMC instrument glass MPH

I am confused about the embossed instrument cluster glass on Chev CMP's with the rectangular civilian panel: were they 0-80 mph or 0-100 mph?
I have Canadian-packaged glass 0-100 mph with gauges marked Temperature, Gas, Battery and Oil. I have seen other glass marked 0-80 and Water, Fuel, Amps and Oil. The glass is not illustrated in my parts books. The broad interior line diagram of the cab interior in the MB-C1, 2 maintenance manuals show a 0-100mph gradation but no detail on the wording for the gauges....... Brian

100 mph in a Chev?!?

Must be for a CGT being pushed down a steep slope by a full crew, ammunition load plus 25-pdr gun....

Default To the best of my observations.....

Hi Brian

Based on what I have at the abrn and seen/copied from various web site psotings.......Chevrolet civilian/rectangular Speedo is always 100 mph BUT the GMC identical set up with different colour is 80 mph.

In either case it is just wishful thinking....

Default 1941 CMP speedo 0-100

Hi Brian

I concur with Bob all the CMP Chevys I have seen with the civi dash are 0 - 100.

Bob it is not wishful thinking it is terminal velocity when dropped from a great height.

Cheers Phil
