Doing some work on my instrument panel replacing the voltage regulator and discovered the white plastic that holds the instrument cluster is coming apart. Does anyone know the part number/availability of a replacement?

Appreciate the help.

 

Welcome to FTE

You typed this question in the Ranchero & 1961/67 Econoline forum. How many members of this forum would be aware?

Go here: 1973/79 F100/350 and etc forum, thread: OH*****Where'd My Instrument Panel Go?

See post 6.

 

Many Thanks!

 

Well this is the Ranchero forum so I assume more members in this forum would be of help than in the f-series forum..

Mike post a picture of your dash cluster, might be able to dig up something.

There are not reproductions of that part made. You will have to go find one -in a junkyard or find one on ebay. The part is from 77-79 only and can be found in rancheros, thunderbirds, torinos and LTD's. Good luck.

 

1977/79 Ranchero: There are THREE different types of instrument cluster backs.

LTD II is not an LTD! / LTD II the confusing name that Ford replaced Torino with in 1977.

I still believe there is only one type of GT cluster backing for the 1977/1979, and then one type for standard clusters in 1977/1979 rancheros. My bad with the LTD, I always forget it's the LTD II.

 

I know it's an old post but I have this part for sale new. 3d printed on an industrial machine. Fits great. I have added structure and radiused the sharp intersections for strength.
