F650 lower dash
 
I am looking to get a 650 lower dash, but I am a little apprehensive. My first issue is a manual transfer case. Second, I would like 5 or 6 switches. Any thoughts?

Clay will be able to answer any questions you have. That's Riffraff deisel performance! I know he can set you up with some cool rocket switches that are engraved with what ever you want on them. And I know they fit the 6 speed cause skyski Jason has one. Do a search for 650 dash and you'll come up with some neat set ups!

Not sure why you're apprehensive bro, just get the manual dash with 6 switches and add two gauges if you like.

Get what ya want and problem solved. ;) :)

I am just chiming in with the same input, Clay at Riffraff. I have 6 switches and two gauges. Mine is for auto trans w/4WD. Clay has about every combo you could think of.

those set-ups look sweet. check'n Clays site now...

If you needed more than 6 switches in the picture, you could always add some to the blank space between the steering wheel and HVAC controls. I made my own diamond plate and Carling Switch set in that blank space and it cost next to nothing.

Yeah I love mine.

I also recommend the Riffraff dash. I thought that the auto dash looked better so I went with it even though I have the manual t-case. It still works fine, you just cant grab the knob from up top, you kind of have to reach under the dash to get at it. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ictureid=61302

Saw Chris's truck today with his dash. It looooks sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Clean and it looks like it came from the factory.

Chris I was a pleasure to meet you today. Sorry it got a lil busy at work. You got there for the rush of the morning lol.

BDalton 02-20-2011 11:04 PM

I did mine myself also. I'm sure Clay has something slick that would fix ya up. I think the manual dash was meant more for the manual tranny guys, not manual t-case guys. Correct me if I'm wrong. Here's mine:

Looking at these again, it looks like you might could fit three gauges on the auto dash. Does the pre-existing hole screw things up like it does on the manual dash?

Lol whats work? I have today off :-drink . That DPTuner box lookin thing thats located on the bottom of your 650 dash, is that the switch it self? I've never seen one in person.

Ponyboychris 02-21-2011 10:51 AM

Yes, that's the switcher for the chip. I used to have it velcroed up by the steering wheel but now it has a home in the dash.
