Inst. cluster
This has got to have been covered somewhere, but I can't find any info here. Sorry. My '77's inst. cluster just crumbled in my hand (the part that the electrical plugs into). Is there a replacement for it? I have checked around and every supplier says they are all crumbled ... 
The dash face plate and ints. are all good. I have a way figured out for mounting the guages back into the bezel but I am still working on the electrical connections. Is there a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!

There are new replacements available at FTE sponsors $$$$$$$
There are also some users here that have Great condition used ones for a reasoanble cost. check the FTE classifeds. $$
You can also get a cluster out of an 80's E-series van as they all share the same back. $

Yes, Blue Oval Truck Parts sells new ones. They are just the cluster backs. They also sell printed circut for some models too,
I have checked around and every supplier says they are all crumbled ...

You know guys, I started to rebuild this truck about 10 years ago. Couldn't find the parts and didn't want to fabricate, so I figured someone would start making the parts. Bingo! This forum is awsome. Blue Oval certainly had what I needed, and furthermore, has other hard to find stuff I need (like the gas fill flat hose). Thanks for all the responses. The cost is cheap in compairison. A new truck will cost $400 to $600 dollars a month, I have been doing that since 1997 when the new body came out. To spend a few thousand on my favorite truck is peanuts! I will post some pictures when I "giterdone" 
Thanks again!
And thanks for a great forum!
