I was searching for nice looking switches and I wanted to use circuit breakers instead of fuses for the panel. At iboat.com I found some Contura switches for the panel for around $10-15 which is no great deal. The cool part was I found push button circuit breakers for around $5 each. They are far more convenient than having to replace fuses you don't have.

I don't think you can find the Contura V with the laser etched for less then 15 bucks. If you do please share!

The one's at Iboats.com are not etched. I have a guy near by that has a laser and he will do the etching for me

I know this is an old thread but does anyone have a link to a How-To for swapping the original lower center dash for the F650 part? 2004 F250 automatic. I have found the F650 part but trying to see how to replace it.

I've found instructions to tear out the whole dash for repairs. Some say you do not have to tear out the whole thing. So, I'm trying to find a video of how to swap these out to make sure I do it right. Just the dash plastic, not the switches and gauges.

If you can't find one, this could be a great opportunity for you to make one for the rest of us!

Watch these two videos, and it will basically have you covered. Just have to remove the radio (factory or aftermarket if installed the traditional way) in order to remove the upper dash panel. You don't have to mess with the gauge cluster if trying to do the lower part of the dash. Ignore that part. Then remove the cup holder (there are obvious screws for it and two hidden ones which the one video will cover). And then the lower dash removal is pretty straight forward from there....
