Gage cluster swap
Hello Fellas. I found a beautiful gage cluster in a 73 Ford F600 and I want to put it in my 71 F250. It looks like it is the correct fitment but I am not sure what will be involved in the wiring/connections. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Thank you.

This is a direct swap for '67-'69 models (hard wired instrument clusters) but, the f-100 through F-350 trucks went to integrated circuits in the clusters in 1970.
When you pull the instrument cluster from the donor F-600, cut the cluster connector from the main wiring harness side, with several inches of wire attached to it. This will give you a length of pigtail to splice into your trucks existing wiring.

It can be bolted in but it uses a different speedo connection then your truck if I remember correctly. Also only thing you'll need is some of the wire harness off the back of the donor f600 gauge cluster to splice into your trucks harness. Post some pics up of the cluster would like to see how nice it is. Also after you splice it in can you post up the wiring diagram what color wires spliced into what on the truck?

I'm doing some rewire on my clusters myself and I'm trying to look at the schematic for the entire truck to trace dash wires, old eyes small type. If you have a dash only schematic I would be interested in that too.
