Insrument Cluster

Just wondering if there if there is a place where I could send my insrument cluster to have all new parts replaced? Turn signal lights, gauges etc. I have a 53 ford f-100 or is it something I could do myself?

United Speedometer can do it for you but it's expensive. They can also convert them to 12V if you need that. Some guys on here have done some beautiful work on instrument clusters. You could probably do it yourself with a little patience and time...

The instrument cluster is very easy to repair, get a proper ford manual, and check auto flea markets, e-pay or call Mid-Fifty F-100 Parts at 800-252-1956. I have their catalog and they have 6 V and 12 V guages, replacement glass seals, aftermarket guages, dashes, etc. I found a complete '53 cluster at a local auto flea market for $ 15.00 CAN. ( about 12 cents US. !) and it was in super shape with an extra speedo to boot!
