Need to find
I have a 1973 F100 Ranger. I am currently restoring the beast and I need to find a new Dash gauge panel cover. It's the one that has the individual holes in it that sit over the instrument cluster plate. I have the instrument cluster plate, all of the gages and the dash bezel. I have 2 LMC magazines just for restoring my truck but it does not offer this one item. All of the other items are listed. If any one knows where I might find one, please e-mail me at waterdogwelding@yahoo.com. Thanks, Brad Wheelock

Dash panel cover ?
To me your description is confusing.
The Cluster Bezel is the plastic part that covers the instrument cluster and wraps around the radio and heater controls.
There is the instrument cluster with gauges/speedo..
over that is the clear solid plastic that covers the cluster
& Over that is the bezel which is what you say you have.
The back of which is shown here.
Also....... FTE has 5 Sponsors that sell these year parts.
LMC is not one of them.
Maybe check out the sponsor sites.
Like Blue Oval Truck Parts.
see the top of this page.

I'm a bit confused also. It seems your describing the lens?
You state you have the gauges

And you state you have the bezel

The only other thing I can think of is the lens that covers the gauges. And LMC does offer a replacement lens.

Dennis, I bet your right. He probably needs this

If this is right, you would have to get it at a salvage yard. The guages and that accent panel is considered one piece if I'm correct. The one I show is the silver one. I don't have the black one available. Hope this helps

It is a bit confusing about what he needs. He stated he needs the guage panel which gets confused with the Dash Bezel. Same thing to many people. Originally, I thought that's what he needed, but then he stated he had that. He also stated he had the gauges. 
I think Dennis nailed when he stated he probably needs the silver or black panel, like my earlier picture showed. That piece you can't get anywhere seperately. You can find one easy at a salvage yard or on ebay. You are just buying the guages, lens, and the "panel" he needs, usually.

He sent this to me via e-mail after I mentioned he hasn't replied to the thread yet ....but he didn't stipulate which piece.
Thanks alot, that is exactly the piece i am refering to. The LMC catalog does not show that particular piece but all of the other ones. I will contact them see what's up. Restoring this 73 is very special to me and i would really prefer a new one. thanks again

1973 F100 ranger
D5UZ-10890-A Mask, Instrument cluster gauges (yes, 
it's the same as Econoline)
D3TZ-10880-A Lens, Instrument cluster mask
He could substitute E1UZ-10890-A Mask (It's a bit different in texture).
The illustrations for these parts are in the 1973-79 Ford Truck Parts Book: section 106, pg 3 (fiche: 11-56), not under the dash pic in the body section.
