What year/model instrument cluster is in my 69 Crew?

It looks like it is from a 68 or newer F-500-up truck

It is chrome and black, so it is from a 73-79 (dent side) F500 or bigger. Looks good!

is that an aftermarket tach i see in there? What are the specs on it, im sure there are a bunch of people that would like to know.

Yes, that is an aftermarket tach...

Also.... that "auto" steering column is not original as the truck had a manual trans. Is there any sources to get a manual steering column? Or is the wrecking yard my best bet

either post in the parts wanted here or just visit your local junker.

Just returned from the wreckers and scored on a manual floor shift steering column!

Also picked up a factory installed A/C unit and misc. parts.

I was also surprised to see a couple instrument clusters in real good shape... if I was going to go back to original I would have most certainly scored again!

Keep the cluster you have. Or if you do go back to factory i will buy that one from you. If you scored a factory floor shift colum you just scored a big money part as they are like a needle in a hay stack to find. That part alone if you was to list it on the bay just might bring more than you gave for the whole truck. j/k Maybe like $500 or better
