New Gauges
OK I saw a thread on here today that lead me to looking for the reverse indiglo gauges. I can find em for the 87 or newer bronco but not for my 85. 
HAAAAAALLPP!!!!
can anyone tell me where I can find em?
Thanks all!

Come to think of it, I dont think I have ever seen them for an 86 or ealier Ford truck. I think it is because of the way that the guage faces are made. They have raised areas on them (the numerals and letters) that would make it pretty tough to put an indiglo overlay on it. All the guage styles after 86 have basicly a large decal on it that can be replaced with the indiglo material overlay. I just went bought a complete dash from an 88 Bronco for my 81. (The original dash was non existent, I wasn't thinking about the indiglo guages till I read this post.)

So ...does that mean if I switch my dash and instrument panel to another year, that it will work? If so, which year and how much modifying will I have to do? Will the wiring to the gauges be the same?

ill let you know, ill try to post the pics in my gallery. It should be fairly simple except for the wiring, but I should be able to cross reference the two diagrams to figure out what would go where.
