F100 Instruments

 "That which has been claimed without proof can also be refuted without proof." - Euclid

 Was eyeballing the instrument dash cluster on the old F100 yesterday whilst sweating and swearing.  It's not pretty.  Nothing about this vehicle is.  Glass busted out?  Check!  Half the gauges missing?  Check!  Any of the remaining ones in working condition?  Unlikely...  The bezel seems to be in decent condition, even if there are only a couple of screws holding it in place.

Fortunately, they make gauge replacements.  The only decision you need to make is whether to spend $1100 for the non-tachometer version, or $1300 for the tachometer version!  Good thing I'm made of money.  I can already see that this project is going to leave me broke, and with a pissed-off wife. 

Haven't even gotten to the engine or cosmetics.  Chrome and paint will probably be big bux.
