1996 F250

Hello all, picked up a 1996 f250 2wd yesterday. Got it for a steal so I didn’t mind the dash needing to be replaced. The guy I got it from attempted a super duty dash swap and it’s not the worst I’ve seen but not my style I prefer the older dash. I know 92-96 are the major interior groupings but was curious if a 97 dash would work, also found a ton of f150 dashes in my area but not sure if they will work either. Thanks for any help.

Yes you can use an F150 or even a Bronco dash. 1997 F250HD will also work.

What model from ‘97? An F-150 from that year would be a different body style

Yeah I'm not sure I would pick storm trooper black and white for a dash either, if it was beige like the rest of the interior it might be tolerable.

You will need an OBS pickup dash to have something that doesn't need fab work... and a whole bunch of rewiring.

fortunately it doesn’t look like he cut any wires that I can see, but I’m definitely in for a treat trying to refit the dash.
