Where can i find a new Metal instrument panel for my 65 f100, I need the one that Has one guage in the middle, prefer chrome but painted will do as long as its metal. The reason i need one is i am going with a custom
billet panel insert for 6 individual guages, I have the sweep custom cab guages now, but the new panel im getting only fits the standard cab guage panel.
heres the link of the one im getting

Check this site's classifieds for a Standard cab instrument cluster, or eBay. I think Iceman stated in a post that all the Standard cab instrument bezels are plated whether Ford painted over them or not. I don't know as my parts are all '65 '66 Custom Cab units.

I see them on Ebay frequently. I heard that they are chrome plated underneath the factory paint so you should be able to have it either way.

3 types of the metal panels i know of, all paint, paint w/polished rings and top, and all plated with black centers on the outer rings.
