Black wheels would match the color scheme on the truck perfectly. Does it have a 4.6 in it?

 

I'm probably going to go with rims that are a combination of black and machined like this:


Or this:


Oh, the engine is a 5.4L.

 

Here's my 97




Here's my other Ford, It's a F-250 though.

The 1979 F-250 is my baby (and money pit). I have big plans for this truck.

Here is my 2001 F-150

 

Ported and polished throttle body. White face gauges with Trans temp gauge.

Brushed Stainless Bezel, white gauge faces and blue LED back lights.

 

That's a cool custom effect you did there. I like that gauge bezel a lot!

 

How hard was it to change your gauge bezel? I was thinking about doing that but I need to fix my power steering pump first

 

Thanks! I got the bezel on e-bay for $17.00, I think. I think it's just a laser cut piece of sheet steel, but it dresses it up a bit. They had a chrome one also, but I thought that might be too much glare.

 

As far as the Bezel goes, it just sandwiches in between the glass and the gauge face. Pretty easy really. Now the gauge face, that's a bit harder as you have to remove the needles and then carefully peel off the old gauge face and then press the new one on. The hard part is getting the needles back on in the correct position. The best way to do this is get the truck up to operating temp, and then make a note of where all needles are pointing on each gauge. Then after the new gauge face is on...but not the lens, get the truck back up to operating temp. and then press the needle on in the correct position. All but the Speedo, that is.

The speedo is really tricky, cause you have to be moving. So before you remove the needles, make a note of the rpm at a given speed in a given gear. Lets say we notice 2000 rpm in 2nd gear is 17mph. Now find a nice deserted road you can drive down and try to hold your rpm at 2000 or whatever rpm you made note of, and gently and just slightly press the needle on at 17mph or whatever speed you noted. now if it seems like you have it, press it on all the way. If not pull it back off and try again, until you feel it is correct. Note: You cannot just place the needle on in the zero mph location with the truck sitting still...it will be WAY OFF. Ask me how I know.

With the advent of GPS, if you have a unit that gives your speed, you could just use that and place the needle on at the corresponding speed of the gps instead. Didn't really have that when I did this years ago.

 

Hm I think I can find a deserted road around Montana somewhere lol
