I bought another cluster from a guy in Canada, it is in beautiful original condition. Then swapped in some gauges that are more compatible. The speedo even works!
I have some leftover parts if you need anything.

Thanks, tinman. Do have any of the ***** ? I think the start switch hole is a "universal" Ford mount. Looks like the one in the F-1. Let me know.

I really don't like the aftermarket gauges for 51-52's. And I figure the truck is never going to be show quality, and with all the add on's of later year parts, it's not origina nor will it ever be. So why not cut out the 2 openings and install a different cluster? I keep looking for the perfect cluster, I like the 64 cluster, first I need to see if parts are still available for it!
I think I have some extra gauges, I've seen them on ebay. PM me if interested. I'll check and see if I have them.
