'48-'50 Instrument Cluster
#31
Were the instrument panels made by an outside company and sold and shipped to the Assembly Plants?

I can see why you're doing it if you are doing a restoration. I believe Abe and I are both asking if anyone had any idea why Ford went to the trouble to make the cross hatch texture on the panel.
I've been around these trucks since they were new, ridden in a few, driven several, owned a couple and this thread is the first time I was aware of the pattern. I actually went out and looked at my '49 F4 to verify the pattern is there. And I've always thought I had an eye for detail and 20 20 vision, corrected.
Edit: BTW, you're doing beautiful work.
