Numberdummy:If I'm reading your post right, then I can get one from a 1981/86 Econoline.
How about F Series?
How about it? Only if the original turd has been replaced by the hard plastic cluster back.
I wouldn't waste my time looking, cuz you gotta pull the cluster to find out. Get it from an Econoline.

Shouldn't have too much trouble finding a 1981/86 Econoline in a boneyard, cuz FoMoCo made millions of the puppies.
Or, you can buy a NOS (New Old Stock) hard plastic cluster back (E1PZ-10848-B) from Dennis Carpenter, cuz he has ONE HUNDRED & FOURTEEN of the little charmers.

I could look 'em up in the O-S-I (Obsolete-Supercede-Interchange) Catalog, by crossing the original part numbers over to the replacement part numbers, but...
Why would you want these part numbers? As you said, the originals were/are C-R-A-P = CRAP!

You must be new to the hobby.
Dennis Carpenter (DC) is the oldest and largest seller and reproducer of Ford reproduction parts.
Also has the second largest inventory of obsolete Ford parts (Green Sales Co. in Cincinnati OH has the largest stock-800-543-4959).
Call DC @ 800-476-9653, order a 1967/79 Ford truck repro parts catalog...it's free.
btw: To all you cheapskates who think nothing of spending 20 bucks for beer, but wouldn't pay a nickel to watch an ant eat a bale of hay:
E1PZ-10848-A = Last FoMoCo MSRP: $47.98 / Last dealer net cost: $28.79 /// E1PZ-10848-B = Last FoMoCo MSRP: $54.22 / Last dealer net cost: $32.53.
Carpenter has 599 of E1PZ-A & 114 of E1PZ-B .. So he's not gonna want an arm and leg for either. Step up, or step back!

I've been in this hobby for over 55 years, longer than most of y'all have been alive. Have owned 337 vehicles, 84 FoMoCo products, and...
I'm not a cheapskate, cuz I've bought 8 new Ford trucks since 1965, 4 new Ford cars since 1979....and 10 new NotaFords since 1966.
And, have prolly spent over a million buckeroo's on the old rolling piles of misery I've owned.
"You may think you bought an old truck, but what you've really bought is a hobby and hobbies tend to be expensive."

Notice what I typed inre to those cluster backs: CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS.
Same telephone number as the free catalog and repro parts: 800-476-9653.
DC is located in Concord NC, north of Charlotte (formerly Lowe's) Motor Speedway.
Swing on by, when you walk in the door, you'll see about a dozen glass cases loaded with NOS parts.
In 2004, "She, who must be obeyed" and I attended a Studebaker Drivers Club GTG (don't ask!) in Charlotte.
After it ended, we drove to DC's place. While "She" fumed in the car, I spent several hours and three grand on NOS parts, 200 bucks on repro parts for my two '63 Galaxies.
