Speedometer?

I was wondering if a 1979 f150 speedometer would fit on a 1986 f150

Don't know, the guts might if you change the faceplate. Try it, sometimes things work out. Just make sure you spot where the high beam indicator is located. I just bought a 84 Bronco II, and the blue high beam indicator didn't work. Did a bunch of troubleshooting, and figured out it WAS working. But someone had swapped out the speedometer with one that did not have the blue window for the light. I had to take another speedometer I had, pull the needles off, swap the faceplates, and put the needle back on and now it works.

No.
1973/79 F100/350 dash and instrument cluster bezels are completely different than 1980/86 F100/350.

The speedometers are different, the gauges are different, the whole enchilada is different. In fact, excepting power trains, 1980/86 trucks are completely different than 1973/79.

Upper pic: 1973/79 // Lower pic: 1980/86.
