[FOR TRADE] 150 speedometer for 150 speedometer

[ssba]

I just realized I have the wrong year speedometer for my 68 barracuda after searching some
threads. Apparently the 68s are supposed to have the numbers oriented in a circular pattern rather than vertical as the one I have now.
I don't know what year this speedometer is but must be 69 up from what I've read. It does have the trip option and is in good shape.
If anyone has the one I need in comparable condition I would be interested in a swap.
Also if anyone knows if the diecast frame is different on the 68 if it came with factory air or not I have been searching threads trying to find this info. Thanks.

PremiumDashDecals.com could answer you question and solve the problem too.
I answered questions about pot metal inst' housings in another thread.
67 is different from 68 up. With or without a/c makes no difference.
upper in pic is 67. Shallow offset, etc.. poor cropping to make it fit and upload. Hope it helps

Thanks redfish that helps very much. I have spent a good amount of time searching threads
On the housing differences and still wasn't sure why I had two different castings. I was on the wrong trail thinking it was a option difference rather than a year thing. It looks like I'm not in such bad shape as I thought since all the 68s are the same. I will have to take apart
another dash though to change out the diecast housing.
Some how over the years mine ended up with the 67 casting you show above and the 69 up speedometer.
As far as the gauge face thanks for the lead I will check them out.
I find sometimes if I could just leave what I have alone It wouldn't cost so much.
But I know someday someone will call me on the gauge number lay out if I don't
correct it now.
