Gauge set for an f500

Post by RTG_RACING »

Ok I have a question. How does this hook up? It has a plug like the wireing harnes. Do I cut if offf and splice? Also I have the gause set now with the two dummy lights. What needs changed on that? This thing is mint not even dusty. It was in a service truck with 17k on it. The guy wants 50$ does that sound like a good price?


Thanks for the help.

it depends on the year they are going into. on my 67 i put a 67 f600 one in and the harness was slightly different(the dash lights hooked up out side the normal harness plug.

The f600 was full gauges like my old one was....i simply switched harnesses on them. The 67-69 should be the same i think.

It does not have the vacum and tach. So does it just plug in? It's a 68 f500 and my truck is a 68 f100. But it has a plug on the end instead of the female socket on the stock gauge pad. Or did I not look close enough at it?
