gauge problems
my gauges were working them BAM they wasnt. the fuel gauge is beyond maxed out, the oil pressure gauge reads all the way low as if the key was off and the thermostat gauge maxes out after just a few minutes of running (1-2) minutes, and the voltage gauge reads correct. any ideas voltage regulator only think that comes to mind.

Incase your not familiar with the ICVR (Instrument cluster voltage regulator). It's a small box attached to the backside of the instrument cluster with one screw. It attaches to the printed circuit board with what looks like a 9V battery terminal.

Parts store wants like $55 for them.... And I thought ebay was bad! 
I always grab extras at the JY for a couple of bucks. 
They rarely go bad.

D1AZ-10804-A .. ICVR (Motorcraft GR-513) / Obsolete / Last MSRP: $69.24 / Dealer net cost: $38.08.
Over 1,600 available NOS from Ford Dealers/obsolete parts vendors. Carpenter has 1,472 (!) of the little charmers. Listed in his 1967/79 truck catalog for $15.00 .. a roaring bargain.
Applications: 1971/79 F100/350 / 1971/91 Econoline / 1978/79 Bronco / Misc: 1971/79 FoMoCo Passenger Cars.
Make sure to take the original to the autoparts store to match it up. There are 10 different ICVR's, most autoparts store partspeeps haven't a single clue.

In reference to the 10 different ones; that spans the Ford product line, right?
Our 73-79 trucks only used the one you listed up top, correct?
Thanks Glenn
