F250 Instrument Cluster Dash Radio Trim Bezel

I am in need of a replacement dash and I see that the ones that Tasca offers have a 4x4 switch option and not. My 4x4 switch works just fine. If I buy the unit with out the 4x4 switch to save 150+ dollars, its it a simple thing to just transfer my old switch to the new dash or will there be cutting and what not involved?

if you get a dash with out 4x4 you will have to cut the hole out and put your switch in it.

X2, you'll have to cut out the hole. I can take a pic of mine and provide measurements though. $150 bucks is $150 bucks.

It's got a few different features, but should snap right in. I've seen quite a few king ranch conversions for our trucks.

Just to throw this out there, but I think the 650 dash is a replace my of the stock bezel. Even if you don't want it, if you know someone with the 650 dash they may have the old one laying around. That or car-parts.com is a nationwide salvage yard search.

Sorry, brain fart. I was thinking it was part of the same piece.

I could easily be wrong, but that looks like the dash bezel from an Excursion. I say that because of the headlight switch being oval and the fact that the area over the gauge cluster extends towards the driver. I have an Excursion bezel in the garage and that was one of the things I noticed as a difference, and wanted for my truck. I plan on using the defroster button as the on/off for my heated mirrors.

Ahh.... wait... I see there is no "Excursion" emblem... so now I've learned something new!! And I'm really liking the look of that bezel!

Anyway, it's a very nice looking piece, but as has been said, $150 is $150, and to pay that for basically just a pre-drilled hole... especially when it sounds like you have the perfect template in-hand already... keep the $150 and break out the dremel!!
