I seen some where that a new stock set of gauges for a f-1 was made as a 12V set up. Can any one help me with this?

 

Ford used the gauges all the way into the 70s (on their bread trucks). The gauges were still 6V, but had a drop down resistor for 12V attached. The resistors were from the factory.

Try Bob's Speedometers (Google the name), as they may be able to help you.

 

Thats some good info. ilya i'll be looking for bread trucks now.

 

You don't really need the Ford OE resistor. You can use any dropdown resistors. The Runtz resistors were popular, but I think they're discontinued now.

 

1953/77 P Series Parcel Delivery-Used by so many bakeries, it has been called a bread truck for many years. UPS also used it thru circa 1974.

The P500's rolling chassis was used by Motor Home manufactures thru circa 1974 to mount Class A motor home bodies.

You will have do a lotta lookin' before you find one in a wrecking yard. These trucks are not EZ to find today.

(sigh) Another clueless ebay seller! There is no way-NONE, that this one ICVR fits all "1964"-1986 Mustangs...because there are four different types. ICVR's regulate flow of 'juice' to the gauges.

B9MZ-10804-C (1965/66-bolts to cluster back) / C6DZ-10804-A (1967/68-bolts to cluster back) / C9AZ-10804-A (1969/73-use w/printed circuit only) / D1AZ-10804-A (1974/86-use w/printed circuit only).

Two of these ICVR's use a specific dash harness plug, two others plug into the printed circuit board, but are years specific. And every one of these fits far more vehicles than just Mustangs.

This puppy is: B9MZ-10804-C (replaced: B7J-10804-A) .. ICVR (Motorcraft GR-508) / Obsolete

Applications: 1957/66 P Series Parcel Delivery / 1959/66 full sized Ford Passenger Cars/Thunderbirds / 1960/65 Falcon/Fairlane / 1961/66 F100/1100 / 1965/66 Mustang / 1966/77 Bronco.

Every autoparts store carries ICVR's, so there no need to buy 'em on ebay...especially from sellers that have no clue!

 

I know where theres 2 of these things.1 is a van the other is an RV.
The RV is badaxx
