replacing in-dash gauges

Post by darics »

I want the best of both worlds. I want the styling of the original '68 F-250 dash but the functionality of aftermarket gauges. The only aftermarket gauges I can find are round. Has anyone successfully mounted aftermarket (round) gauges behind the stock (rectangular) dash?

F600 dash will do it for you. They're the dashes in the buses and stuff. It fits exactly into our dashes but has round gauges.

Yea, I've seen the posts regarding the F-600 dash. . . I just really like the F-250 dash. . .

Does anyone know of an "easy" way to locate an F600 dash pack?

Find a truck wrecker that deals in medium and heavy duty trucks, and ask about mid 60's to mid 70's F-series Fords. There's one near me that I've been meaning to go check out... :hmm:
