I looked a little bit online, there is one company that makes replacement dashes for our trucks. They are NOT cheap, looking at the cheapest being almost $700 and the most expensive is around $1200. Here is a link: Classic Dash :: Ford :: Ford Truck :: 1967-1972 :: Dashes with Auto Meter Gauges

So I would look into some VDO or Omega Kustom gauges and one of those bezels; I think that could turn out nice!. Looks like you could get away with about $600 out of pocket that way. I like the black one myself....

Yeah i figure buying the dash and then the gauges slowly, it would be more in the budget for most of us. I know i cant afford 1200 out of pocket right now, but i can sure do that over a few months time and put one together slowly. I think if you just make contact with them you could get one that doesnt have the holes cut out, or tell them what you want, im sure they could manufacture one for you. hell the worst they could say is no...

I love the LED's but you are right; they are bright. It doesn't bother me that much though. Next time I might go down a size. I do not think LED's are dimmable by reducing voltage. Normally they require a certain voltage to either be on or off. Once you drop the voltage to the lower limit it just turns off. I might be wrong so if you try it and it works; let me know please.

That's a lot of money for ABS plastic. I bought an f600 unit off of Craigslist for $60. It was 500 miles away and cost $10 to ship. Excellent condition, pigtail attached. They are out there, you just have to look.

Yeah, the f600 bezel is nice and cost effective, but not every one wants that layout. And filling those holes with aftermarket gauges might limit you. Three big gauges would be cool but challenging. I am going to buy one just to have one though.

I just bought the truck and I know very little about trucks. I just think it looks cool and sounds bad ***. Does anyone out there have a link that will teach a noob how to trouble shoot the horn? Mine does not work. Thanks

Push on the horn in truck and rotate the bezel (can't remeber which way) its most likely one of your contacts is messed up in there. I replaced the spring in there with one from a pen and mine started working. Other than that you have a fuse I believe under the dash, and then a relay out in the engine compartment. Both of my horns ended up being shot so I replaced one with a cheapie from autozone.

For all those looking for cost effective gauges. This looks pretty decent to me.
