This is interesting due to Dad's early 63 model 60 had white gauges on
it, and they seem to be original... Wonder if they were just using up
the stock before switching....

John:

According to JD Hobbs book on the "Styled Letter Series" the B gauges
were
white until serial number 306600 "when it appears that black faced
gauges
were phased in". Ser # 306600 is a late model 1952 B. 

I interpret JR's wording in the statement to be a little bit of a hedge
since there may not have been a clear cutoff and for a period of time it
might have been the luck of the inventory draw as to which version was
used.
I may be incorrectly reading between the lines. If your B is close to
that
serial # I suspect the "correct police" will probably be a bit lenient.
:-)
And if they are not, I think it would be reasonable for them to be
expected
to volunteer to replace the gauges for you at their expense! :-)

I am restoring a late styled BW with 42" rear tires, 1949.  Are the
guages
supposed to be black or white faced?   John
