Instrument panel back is falling apart
I have one of those flimsy panel backs and I remember a guy on here years ago that was a retired Ford parts guy that found me some info on where to get a good one to replace it but I didn't have the money for it back then. Now I do so I should see if I can still find one. Anyone know where I can? And is that guy still around?

I have one of those POS instrument cluster backs that were made of a composition material that can TURN TO DUST before your very eyes!
I remember a guy on here years ago that was named NumberDummy and a retired Ford parts guy, found me some info on where to get a good one to replace it, but I didn't have the money for it back then.
Now I do, so I should see if I can still find one. Anyone know where I can?
And is NumberDummy still around?
Uh...

E1PZ-10848-B .. Hard Plastic Cluster Back-Use with Oil/Amp Warning (idiot) Lamps / Obsolete
1981/86 Econoline; retrofit: 1975/79 F100/350; 1975/80 Econoline; 1978/79 Bronco.
PRAIRIE MOTORS in Stanley ND has 1 = 701-628-2855.
GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 4 = 800-543-4959.
CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS in Concord NC has 24 = 800-476-9653.
If you go to a junkyard, look for a 1981/86 Econoline instrument cluster, but the printed circuit board will be different.
1976/78 F100/350 & Econoline, 1978 Bronco with Oil/Amp Warning Lamps use a different printed circuit board than 1973/75 F100/350; 1979 F100/350 & Bronco; 1979/86 Econoline.
Circuit board and the cluster back are also different with Oil/Amp gauges.

Last one I bought, I got off eBay. It was actually for a later model year econoline, so it looked a little different in a side-by-side comparison. But the important thing is that it works great!
And, it came with part of the econoline dash, so I had an extra piece I didn't need
