This is my first time posting images on the forum board, so please for give me but I don't know how to size down my photo so it doesn't take up the whole post size. But I was wonding what other options do you guys have installed on your dash instrument panels?




That is a insturment panel from a 65' F500 with the factory cut out for NOS air gauge. I'm planning on installing a "big truck" air horn to use on Los Angeles freeways...lol




I also have a NOS "blink marker light" push button switch to activate the air horn (no pull chains here). I'm trying to only use period correct Ford options for my customizing.

I still need to replace the speedo and fuel/temp gauges with NOS ones I have in storage and repaint it with the correct Argent color paint. I used Krylon silver not knowing the correct color was Ford Argent. So it is still a work in progress. I need to locate NOS sources for the OIL/ALT idiot lights, the green turn signal lenses and the blue high beam indicator lense. Any help locating these NOS parts would be greatly welcome. - Ryan

 

Instead of having alt and oil lights I would find a bronco/big truck speedo that had gauges where the lights are.

 

Mine is a 66 but i cut out and made my own custom fiberglass insert for 6 gauges. i riveted it in the top corners and hot used hot glue to fill gaps and smooth it while hot. I also used it on the front and anywhere else on the back to make sure it stayed in place. I love it but i havent installed it yet since i still have metal work in the cab to do
