I am hoping to run across one of these clusters for my truck one of these days. I just want the bezel as I have a set of gauges I can put in it. I think it would improve the visibility of the gauges at night.
I also don't need the switches, but maybe find one with the blank panels still there.

Incase anyone is wondering a 2 1/16" gauge will fit snug in the small gauge holes in the bezel. If you flatten out the raised part around the gauge bezel hole and slide in a gauge it would be a quick easy way to liven things up in the cab. Or you don't need to flatten it but then the gauge has a small gap between the back of the 2 1/16" gauge and bezel.

If you're using the bigger truck instrument cluster in a '67-'69 model F-100 through F-350, the connectors of the big truck instrument cluster are a direct connection to the existing '67-'69 F-100-F-350 connectors on the main wiring harness.
If you have a '70-'72 model truck (printed circuit board cluster) you need the connectors and a short length of the big truck's main wiring harness to splice it into the main wiring harness of the '70-'72 F-100 through F-350. However, any '67-'69 F-100 through F-350 truck will also have the same needed connectors to cut a pigtail from the main wiring harness to connect to the big truck cluster, if it was being installed in a '70-'72 light duty truck.
At some point (possibly '77 or '78) the big trucks also had a printed circuit board instrument cluster.
You can see the circular impressions of this cluster stamping, indicating this an F-500/ cluster with printed circuit board.
This is one of the coolest (modified) big truck clusters I've seen.

This is the thread containing the modified big truck instrument cluster by Coupe5oh. (VERY nice modified truck build).

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it. I referenced your truck because I think you have one of the nicest builds out there.

Thank you very much. Appreciate it. The bezel was a plain white One I got off eBay with no guages. The guage set is from speedhut. You can design them on their website, they are pretty cool. Get a lot of compliments. If there is anything you guys want to know I'd be happy to help.

I bought one in good shape with a complete wiring harness and plug for $75. I think it was a fantastic deal, considering aftermarket gauges and a new mounting bezel will set you back over $600
