Hi all,
My apologies right off the bat since this is probably an old question. I did some searching around here and found related posts but no direct answer to my question.
I'd like to swap in a gauge cluster from an earlier F series into my 79. I like the black gauge surrounds, 100 MPH speedo and the lack of the "Unleaded Fuel Only" label. As I have found in other posts, the connecter on my 1979 harness does not match the socket on the back of my older gauge cluster. (darned wishful thinking!).
Is it possible to do this swap without butchering the dash harness? I have a dash harness out of the same truck that donated the gauge cluster.
I would really appreciate any info, and if it's a lost cause, I'd appreciate knowing that too. I have above average hobbyist-level skills in modifying and restoring vehicles, but I am not interested in making a mess just to get the older cluster.
Thanks, Happy New Year.
Warren
