gauge panel
#2
I seriously doubt it. The dash as well as the whole truck was totally redesigned. Admittedly it would look interesting if it did.
I have a friend who installed a 1968 F-600 instrument panel and cover into his 1969 F100 and it fit perfectly. The F-600 that year had a 4 gauges in circles that surrounded a circular speedometer( looks similar to the 1957-60) whereas the stock 1969 panel looks nothing like it.

mrcman58...not sure what you mean by '66 being different. The only difference I'm aware of is that '65 & '66 Custom Cabs (& maybe Rangers?) have the plastic gauge panel with a sweep speedo.

the plastic Instrument cluster is what i was referring to as being different than the steel Instrument cluster, I wasent 100% sure if the 65 was plastic, but i knew the 66 was, so i just said the 66 was different, maybe i should of stated that the 57 to 60 is different than the 61 to 66 and let it go at that,

'65 and '66 F100 and F250 2wd custom cabs and '66 F100 4X4 custom cabs had the plastic clusters with sweep speedometers. The rest were steel with round speedometers.

If you are looking for a full gauge package, you should look to 66-77 Broncos. I got a full gauge package speedo out of one of them, and it fits, and works fine in my 66. I know it is later model because below the speedo, it says, "Unleaded Fuel Only" I covered it up with a tiny Ford oval sticker. It took a little research to figure out what Oil sending Unit to use, and the Amp gauge is a little weird, It just is a flow by thing. So you hook your main wire to the Alternator to go through it, and it senses the flow. But it works.

C5TZ-10838-A .. Plastic Chrome Instrument Cluster Bezel-Use with "sweep speedometer" / Reproduced
1965/66 F100/250 2WD Custom Cabs & Rangers / 1966 F100 4WD Custom Cabs.
All other 1965/66's had steel instrument cluster bezels using the round speedometer. Custom Cab bezel was chrome, Standard Cab bezel was painted.

If anyone is interested, I have a NEW 3 3/8" Tachometer for sale, that looks just like the round speedo. It files the large round area to each side of the round speedo. You can mount it on either side. This is NOT a cable driven tach. It is all electric. Go to the web link below and you can see what it looks like. I love this gauge but I decided to go in a different direction. A much more expensive direction, sad to say but its what I want.
I only say this because I think some one mentioned the bigger truck gauge set up with the two large 3 3/8" gauges to either side of the round speedo.
This is a Deluxe unit that comes with the mounting cup and small bracket to mount it to the steering column OR cut one of the 3 3/8" holes in the metal dash and mount it there. Pretty cool tach. Never mounted it. Still in the box.
Check it out at the web link and if interested, PM me. Paid well over 200 by the time it got to me. Let go for a good bit less.
O, and by the way, I have the old 3 3'8" pressure gauge that went in the other side from the speedo. It is the original pressure gauge. It was used to let you know how much pressure you had in your air tanks. There is a place that rebuilds gauges and will put any type face you want on it and also turn it into both a pressure/vacuum gauge. I had thought about using both of these gauges but decided to go in a different direction. Who ever buys the NEW tach, can have the pressure gauge for free - even though I paid for it. The two should stay together...
