  Does anyone have a working fuel gauge for sale for a 34 ford or does anyone know if someone rebuilds then? Want to keep original style gauges in car if possible.

  Peaches,

Are you talking about the dash unit, tank unit or air line?

There are essentially three parts to a fuel gauge on those years, '32 thru '35.

The air line and fluid is available from the vendors. The tank unit can be bought new from one of the specialty shops. I don't know of anyone selling the dash unit new.

The hydrostatic dash unit of the gauge is the same '33 thru '35, maybe '32, and comes up NOS on ebay fairly often. I bought my NOS spare year before last for less than $35. They fit other makes of cars too.

The fluid in the dash unit is corrosive and eats up the back of the gauge. It slides in the back of the dash instrument and hooks up to the air line.
