Are F600 instrument clusters easy to find, or scarce?

[robroy]

Hi! I really like the looks of the nice F600 instrument clusters.

I've looked on eBay several times for these but have found nothing.

Are these easy to find or are they really scarce? Should I look at wrecking yards?

Thanks!

If you have wrecking yards thats a great place to find them. F-600's are a dime a dozen around here. In salvage yards & on the road alike.


I wouldnt think they would be too hard to find. Here is one of them on ebay right now:

Or you might go this route. This is just the insert, but still, pretty slick!

Hey thanks Matt, maybe I wasn't searching correctly.

Sorry for asking a question that's probably been asked a thousand times before, but what F600 years have these great clusters?

Thanks!

dont quote me. but they might go up to 79 before they were changed. also check in F500's too.

Robroy if you happen to be digging around in a junkyard look at the dentside f-500-800s also. I found mine in a dent side F-800 dump truck (not sure what year). I was really amazed to findout the interior was pretty similar to the bumpsides.

The later dentsides had the black on chrome ones. Pretty trick looking.

If you search on E-barf for "ford cluster" you will find several. There is also one in Fordification's "Parts for Sale/Trade." They are becoming more scarce all the time. Those old large trucks, (F500, F600, F700, F800) have been going to the shredder very seriously in the recent past because of the huge spike in scrap prices. Many went to the "Great Yard in the Sky" which cuts down on the available ones...........but, scrap prices are now down to about $40 per ton from $260 so I guess those left will be getting a reprieve until prices go back up.
