Switch Panel
Nice and cheap, I just got mine, today.
May not work here but I wish I had found one of these, years ago.

I am sure there are a few folks who are going to like this. Cant say I have spotted one like this with that many switches plus usb and charger port along with the voltmeter, looks like a good score.
Now the real question what are you planning on doing with it?

You'll have consider posting up some pics as you go along and of course the final results. Always interesting to see how folks go about mounting em,where people mount them and how they hook em up and of course what they hooked up to the switches.
Being that this panel has a little size to it, should give you a few challenges , but looks like your up for the challenge. Keep us updated if you can and have the time as your project moves along

I want to have several options.
I didn't know that some of this technology even existed.
I will post pictures, when I have a plan formulated.

I put the F650 panel in my F250, to see how it looked.
The part with the vertical rectangular hole invades the leg area too much, where a middle passenger would sit.
I don't like this, so I will modify the stock panel.
I will mock up the panel and take some pictures, as I progress.
It won't be a quick job.

It sounds like you have the F-650 Auto trans dash panel, have you tried the other Manual trans F-650 panel? It doesn't drop down towards the foot area of the center passenger but it has more flat area for switches and such than the stock SD dash panel.

I ran my 8 Ga. wire through a plastic pass through that I found under the dash.
From under the hood, it can be seen on the driver side,.
It's parallel to the brake shaft, about 6-8 inches closer to the fender.
Under the dash, it can be seen behind a pop-out panel in the insulation.
I drilled it from under the hood, with a long drill bit, then made it bigger, from the inside.
I ran it through about 12 inches of plastic air brake hose, just to protect it through the firewall
and then used split loom and ran it across to the passenger side and up to the battery.
I'll add more pictures as I go.
