Very nice!

I see your gauges have the programming buttons right on the face of the gauge. Good move! Mine have the remote programming buttons, which meant I had to fab a plate under the dash to mount them. Yours is much simpler. Have you "lit" it up yet?

If you are looking for an F600 cluster here's one.







They need better pics, I can't tell how bad the rust is on the face. I talked to them and got them down to $100. I just don't need another one.
The guy said he could get one of there guys to take a better pic.

FORD 600 GAUGE CLUSTER #1170579 - Detail Information from LKQ 1820 Acme Truck Parts

One nice thing about this cluster is they cut the gauge connector off the harness. Good for you guys with 70-72 with the finger type connector (not sure what it's called) Looks like they cut the wiper connector off the harness.

Ya, I would have liked to get the round glass but didnt want to mess with the buttons.... Have sparked them up yet, but the day is coming soon. And you can bet Im one excited kid... Like a kid in an expensive candy store lol...

Well, I'm almost finished; just need to paint it. Since my plan changed with my gauges I had to figure out a way to cover the old gauge layout and incorporate the new ones. Basically a F-600 face with a ring I made around it. Sorry for the blurry pics; camera is getting old.

Simple AWESOME! Well planned and executed. Using that plate to mount the F600 panel makes the whole thing pop. The custom gauges is the icing on the cake...WOW!

I just used one off an F-600, cleaned it up by using paint stripper to get the black off, then polished it with some steel wool. The speedometer didn't work so I got one off ebay that is for a 68 Mustang, I had to trim the mounting edges down for it to fit but it works well and looks "stock" since it's a Ford gauge of the same era.
