After Market Round Guages in a '72

mo-bronco · Post by **mo-bronco** » Sun Jun 22, 2008 11:01 am

I've read the other posts on changing the instrument panel to the round type like that of the '67. The F600 seems to be the one every one talks about to use. Is there a company that sells one new? I like the looks of the round gauges, but would like a modern set up, the type that might glow white or green or whatever color you chose. I'm also into old broncos and they have an after market gauge cluster that reads out digitally and comes in several colors. Thanks.

There are guys selling the flat panel that's ball milled on eBay. You gut your stock panel and put this aluminum plate on the back. It's on the list of things I may play with on the mill.

That looks real good, BiggDogg!

What'd it set you back?

I love that night shot, I made it my background. Thanks for the info.

Thanks guys

the night shot is my favorite pic of the truck so far. The panel cost $159, the dolphin gauges with mechanical speedo cost $185. Stock sending units needing replacement too, so add a little more for that.

Hmmn, $159 for that panel? Looks like I have another project to do for about half the price...

If you do, make a 6 hole config so a Tach can be installed....

6 hole or more. If they would make a 8-10 hole panel, I'd be all for one.

Dakota Digital also makes a Digital cluster for these trucks. They should be for sale by now. I know a year or so ago they were on there site in the production stage.

I agree! Looks cool! But in my opinion it needs auto meter ultra lite II's in it!! Ultra powerful LED's look sweet at night.
