Do you have to keep the cup holder and trash hook the entire time?

We only need the face of the cup holder, not the whole thing. We will need them the entire time, sorry.

Yes, just purchase from the site and send in your pieces. May as well wait a couple weeks until we are ready to go again though.

When they did mine, they had a slight delay since Ford discontinued the paint they used in 2000, but RiffRaff got it from them pretty quick and even with the delay it was done fairly quick.

My order is already in the RiffRaff hopper! Surprisingly, 9 switches just isn't enough... May have to look at replacing the gauge holes with another 6 switch plate!

Unfortunately, you would have to mount them in rows of 2...3 wide wouldn't fit due to the bends in the plastic.

I DID see where someone put a blank plate in place of the pull out cup holder (who really uses that other than the folks that have the front row bench, anyway?)...that would get you room for a few more.

We do. Captains chair front seats too, not bench.

In fact, I just bought a new one for the Ex from Tousley Ford.

LOL, it depends on what kind of container. The smaller water bottles fit better in the dash pull-out holders. Same with the 20oz Diet Coke bottles.

Plus, if we're on a road trip or vacation or something, water bottles, coffee cups, and Powerade Zero (grape ONLY!) are taking up the spaces.

I'm almost glad you didn't run into me when I was in Wasonville...I think I had some Powerade and it WAS NOT grape! You'd have retched!



...lemme guess...no brown M&Ms either?

The grape only applies to the Powerade Zero. I don't like any other Powerade.

I figured you didn't wanna meet up because you were an introvert or something, since you only asked me for my opinion on directions and never mentioned trying to meet up for a face-to-face.

This poor 2 year old thread, we've gone and hijacked the hell out of it.

I bought the F-650 panel from Ford. Hacked it up, epoxy'd the switch plates into it and cut the holes for the gauges. It was black so I primed it, then painted it, popped the switches in then ran the wires. I could have cut the area out for the dash cupholder, which I may do one day, but I never use it so I didn't do it.

I think 3 rows of 2 switches should cover the balance of my ridiculous needs.

It's not so much that I want a lot of switches, just that I want very fine control of what's getting activated. Like driving lights. I don't want one switch that turns them ALL on. I want enough switches or positions so I can turn some of them on, most of them on AND all of them on. There's 3 positions for just "one" function. I have the same problem with the "side" lights. I need "Left Side", "Right Side" AND "All". The strobes are a whole 'nuther problem. Then there's all the "basics" like the onboard compressor, High Idle, Radios, Winch, Tow/Backup Lights and entertainment system...

Well, you do know there are three type of switches, right? Momentary on, on-off, and on-off-on.

So the on-off-on switch can do two different functions.
