Instrument Panel

RustyW. · Post by **RustyW.** » September 1, 2010, 1:25 am

Hey Everyone, Just thought I would ask around I just bought a 66 that I'm going to use on my 79 4x4 frame. I need a few things like the complete instrument panel either custom cab or just the basic version. Please let me know if someone has anything. Thanks RustyW. ( only using cab and front end )

There are a lot of things you can do with your stock panel.
Here are a couple of ideas. Lots of us have put instruments in the side bullets, but I blacked out the idiot lights and stock gauges and put LED's in where the high beam and turn signal lights are.
If you'll check my album, you can see how I did it.

That's a good ideal Skip but I don't have any of the panel or the wiring but I can deal with the wiring. Thinking about using the complete harness out of the 79. I will probably do something like that once I get a panel and speed-o. Iceman I sent you a PM, and just for my own knowledge are PM's better I'm kinda a caveman when it comes to computers! Thanks Everyone I think I'll post some pics later tonight.

PM sent Rusty... just let me know....

Rusty.
I'm not sure what you're asking.
Are you using an instrument panel from the original Slick?
What exactly are you wanting to know or trying to get as a final result.

/.
What do you want to to with it. I can build you one like mine, but you need to be more specific as to what you want.

Sounds like he has a stripped interior.. no instrument cluster at all..he needs the basic tin to hold the guages, and at least a speedometer...

RustyW. · Post by **RustyW.** » September 9, 2010, 11:09 am

Yes Foodstick that's right I need the metal insert and Speed-o don't have the wiring harness or anything. I will try to post picture later ( if I can ) so you can so what I don't have! LOL
I think Anthony has one he's going to sell me but I will still like to find others if you guys have any, maybe putting several together I can end up with a very nice and complete one.

How about this? It's complete with wiring harness. We found it in a yard near Brian Taylor's house (another board member). If your interested.. he can go price it for you.

That is different, looks kinda like the fridge ones! Pretty cool looking!

My1stSlick · Post by **My1stSlick** » September 9, 2010, 3:59 pm

Yes I believe it was sitting on a Fridge. It looks alot like the panel on an N too, truck if I remember. It looks to be about the same size as our panels.

Next time Brian and I go out there, (if its still there) I'll take an instrument panel out of a Slick and see if it will fit in the hole and take pics.

I can get you a complete one for the custom cab interior.

That is a Fridge panel and will not fit our Slicks

Here is what I am doing...

I am going to use the Autometer Phantom Gages.

My1stSlick, I couldn't open that link I really want to see what you guys are talking about. Not sure what it is might be very interested in it. I'm going to buy the one from Anthony but wouldn't mind having others to work with.

RustyW. · Post by **RustyW.** » September 10, 2010, 12:23 am

I hope I'm won't get in trouble postings these pictures here. If I need to move them just let me know. First is of my 64 that I drive for a work truck and the 66 cab is going on the 79 F150 SB frame. I'm using the floor board from the 79 in the 66.

RustyW. · Post by **RustyW.** » September 10, 2010, 12:57 am

Well I totally messed that up!

Rusty 63 · Post by **Rusty 63** » September 10, 2010, 4:22 am

Sweet!

Try hitting the edit button on your post, then hit "Enter" after the link for each picture. That might get them to stack instead of spread sideways.

How did you get them to post like that anyway?

I like the later floor swap - much cheaper & easier than patch panels!

nice Rusty... we need more 4X4's...
