Ford Workmaster 601 12V Conversion

[highvolt1]

Just bought another project which is a Ford Workmaster 601 & going to convert to 12V. Can anyone tell me if the Fuel Gauge will have to be replaced also if converted to 12Volts. Present fule gauge does not work & have not took time to find out why, but wanted to know if a new gauge will be required beforehand. I am pretty mechanical minded & have electrical background

they have stewart warner for about 2x the $$ as well.

I chose walts as they were the first on my favorites list. as I mentioned. PLENTY of places cary the parts. I've bought from Ytmag and walts with 100% satisfaction many ties over.
