The gauge cluster looks good. Was there a lot of rewiring to switch over?

It will plug in to factory connector on my 68 and 69. At some point ford switched to different connector my 71 has the later style. I have a parts truck that I cut pig tail out of for cluster. Most of the wire colors matched, I bench tested every thing before I installed it in truck. I had to repair fuel gauge and gave it a good cleaning. I use a Milwaukee m12 battery for power supply.

Took off the chain tailgate. Went with the Knappy Head model. More paint work . Bow creates a lot of work for himself.

Is this the website you bought your body parts from?

I started on my cab and apparently it’s as rotten as yours was. Trying to figure out everything I need. I was going to order everything off of cjpony parts till I remembered your thread.

Painted the tailgate, packed the front wheel bearings, changed the oil and swapped wheels from my 68.
