Gauge bezle for aftermarket gauges

Post by bobobalu »

Hello, I am searching the net for a dash panel that will let me put aftermarket gauges in my 69 ranger. This link says that the ranger truck's dash is different than normal. http://mattsclassicbowties.com/contents ... d2682.html
Will it fit?

Thank you for the help.

The cheapest route is an F600 gauge panel. A lot of members have done it and it's where I'm going with mine. You can find them on ebay, junk yards and post in the parts wanted section here. I'm drilling/dremel the holes to fit the gauges I want. Got the bezel from a member (thanks Wayne!).

The way that website makes that statement is wrong. Ranger and others had four guages and a speedometer. Other cheaper versions of our trucks had two guages and two dummy lights with speedometer. There is absolutly no mounting difference to or in the dash of the truck.

You can use f500 and f60 bezels. Ones from the site you linked to. Or they make soild faced bezels that you make your own guage holes in.

I might be late to the game, but I got mine from here. Pricey, but it looks incredible!

F-600 looks best in IMO. What a lot of people don't realize is the face of the f600 bezel is actually a little larger than the face of the bezel these trucks came with. Regardless, many people have fit aftermarket gauges in them and they look awesome.
