First and Foremost, Welcome to the Family of Ford Truck Enthusiast! 
There are a couple of different type instrument panels, and configurations. Few weeks back purchased a couple clusters off ebay, primarily interested in the speedo and gauges, and took pic's of the Custom Cab panel just to check them out. It's difficult to see from the pic's but the indicators are nothing more than a round thin sheet of the appropriate color film, or plastic taped to the back of the internal instrument panel. The other cluster is for the Standard cab, and although I have not gotten around to disassembling yet almost certain it has the same thin color film.

Rubylith from a graphics supply store or better yet call a local printer, they would have scrap pieces that you could have for free. Rubylith - RUBYLITH MASKING FILM - Order Online

I set it up to receive daily ebay emails and see CC, sweeping speedo, and Standard dash on regular basis. The price depends on the condition of the panel, and if the gauges are included. The plastic can be repaired, and rechromed, purchased a CC dash couple yrs back and had it shipped directly to the plater, including the shipping came to $125. There was a 'buy it now' CC cluster, with working gauges, on ebay that sold yesterday for $30, and free shipping. If the emails I received from this thread is any indication, suspect if you are interested in selling there may be few members contacting you, unfortunately, I am not. Also, suggest posting ad in the FTE classified, with pics.
