My F-600 Cluster Pics

Post by f100ranger1969 »

Heres a pic of my chrome F-600 cluster I will be using in my '69 Ranger. I plan on keeping the Vacuum gauge and cutting the hole out of the right side for a Tach. The small holes on the left side need to be modified so I can install a '72 style flasher switch and a 61-66 style Flasher Warning Light above it. I'm hoping it will work.

BTW, has anyone used the vacuum gauge in the F100's?

Looks good! :thup: I'll be using the factory vacuum gauge in mine, plus I have the matching factory tachometer that I'm going to try using. Of course, since it's a mechanical-drive tach I'll have to get an aftermarket tach-drive distributor to drive it.

Dang I love the looks of those! Are those extremely hard to find out of f-600s? I am looking at these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/67-68-69 ... 6793QQrdZ1

or other options. I don't care for the stock look myself. Those you have are really nice!

They are not really that hard to find. They are hard to find in that condition. The chrome is all original, the only thing that is not is the black paint that you DO NOT see, it was stripped off by the guy I bought it from. I think it gives it an even more aftermarket look while maintaining a perfect stock fit. I have two other panels, one painted black with only the standard gauges open and one I found locally with the auxiliary gauges for vacuum and tach cut open but it is rusty. Not sure if I am selling them yet, I have a lot of project left to go--actually all of the project is yet to go. Well, anyway CY'all later

On the F600 panels, many of them have a speedo that tops out at 80 mph, which depending on how you drive is a little low.

That is one sharp looking panel you have there.

Keep us posted as to how it works and looks when installed.
