Darn, that is quite disappointing. I'm with Jason on this one, had it in the wish list but never pulled the trigger, my $350 always ended up getting reallocated.
I know a month or two ago I found a plane f650 lower for about $40, but can't for the life of me figure out where it was.
Will use the "reverse" wire at 7-pin plug that I have tucked away, to power the camera. Power point 12v to power the monitor....used 5/32 vacuum to clean the border

Everything is looking good. That is one thing I wish I could do over with my truck. I have ran everything properly, fuses,relays, etc. but you pop my dash panel and it's holy rats nest. Keep up the good work.
A small point-it almost looked to me in the picture of the gauges like solid wire. If that is being used in a vehicle, the vibration will eventually break the wire at terminals/connections. If I am wrong, I apologize. I only bring it up because of seeing that issue on multiple occasions over the years.

While that's an excellent point for the readers, I thought I saw tinned stranded wire.
I worked for a company where we did a control retrofit on a large piece of equipment with motors and lots of moving parts, and the job coordinator bought Ethernet cable for the control wire that operated 24 volt solenoids. While the wire could handle the amperage, the Ethernet cable was solid conductor. My protestations were ignored, and when I visited that sight again a few years later - all the Ethernet was replaced yet again - with 22 gauge stranded cable.
As tempting as it might be to use very inexpensive and easy-to-attain bell wire or other forms of solid conductor wire - this is very bad juju in anything that vibrates or moves. Solid conductor cable is used in places like homes and in the ground for irrigation controllers. That stuff on the pole? Stranded.

Back in my days with Ma Bell (70's) all of the wireing was solid copper (22 -24 ga). There was not much in the way of actual movement but TONS of vibration. Would get a broken lead once in a while due to age (some of the stuff was installed in the 20's) but not very common.

And, that's a wrap...radio in, rear cam hooked and led's in the gauge along with always hot front/rear led bars/lights

How do you like the blue gauges (in the 650 lower dash) at night? Reason for the question is that my brake controller now uses blue LED and I find it distracting (my old one used red LED); same for the USB adapters that plug into the lighter.
And regarding the comment about RiffRaff no longer carrying the 650 lower dash, am noticing that other 7.3 parts are thinning-out on their site as well
Thanks guys.. Kind of stored on the outcome, too. Think though, I'll put a switch on the power to camera. Don't need it coming on everytime backing up.
. As fur the gauges, havnt really thought of it. When the daughter was younger, she'd change the color geared to which holiday it is, lol... And even b then, it didn't bother me. Maybe because of location. I have 3 above the rear mirror, and they are the "tinted" series Glowshift. Them I like. No color, not bright, no "face" when truck is off... Just look plain but cool
I just install my 650 dash and love it. If you look at post number 2 in the link below it give the 2 part numbers for the different 650 dash kits. I only paid $35.00 ish for my manual kit
Looks good, nicely done. I have a suggestion for your shift handle though.
I had a similar problem when I bought my truck from the PO and thought, well I always liked the Hurst style shift handle, maybe I can make that work.
I ended up installing one of these on the shift tube after some modifications and a bit of shade tree fabricating. It looks and feels great. It was chrome, but I took some course sandpaper to it and now it is more of a brushed aluminum look. I have thought about taking it off to have the shift pattern engraved in it, but too busy doing other things.
I think I got it at Advance Auto for like $10, not sure though.

Consider just leaving the shifter 'blank' and not putting the pattern on it as it will help as a theft deterrent Maybe even polish it more so that it really shines and catches attention to the 'curbside-shopper'. Unless of course the thief is from a country where sticks are still common . . .
Had to tweek mine. Removed entire assy and welded a tube. Then flushed mounted a nut atop, inside tube to affix a dice. Problem was, it resonated the granny gear, so off it went. With stock shifter, just would not clear with the old autometer under dash setup, at the time
