after I changed to the Bronco cluster .. [albumimg]5326[/albumimg]

after cleaning the surround to the polished aluminum .. [albumimg]5501[/albumimg]

after installing the http://www.whitegauges.net/products/196 ... auges.html kit I got off E-Bay .. [albumimg]5935[/albumimg]

I give them 2X :thumright: . This is the second set I have purchased and I think they are great. My next purchase will be amber bulbs to make it glow Orange.

On another note, I have the White overlay that goes on the surround that I am leaving polished aluminum. If anyone is interested I can put it in an envelope and send it to you. This one piece is all I have though.

Thanks for sharing. I bought a refurbished Bronco cluster on ebay several weeks ago. I like it, except for it has "Unleaded fuel only" on the black face plate, but I can fix that later I suppose.

Keeping the metal panel white looks good with your white face gauges. I want to strip mine and see what the chrome looks like underneath. If it's bad I guess I'll paint it Argent.

Are you adding any other gauges? I want to find a tach and a vacuum gauge with a similar look to the round gauges.

I've thought about adding a tach but haven't decided which road to take. It will have to be something that looks like it belonged in the truck from at least the early 70's though. I've got at least another year before the slick is driving again so that gives me time to shop. Thanks Anthony

I got a Bronco cluster last weekend from Tim. I am going to paint a chrome dash and leave just the rings and edge chrome. I will be using a white-white like on the outside of my truck. Those would look good in it. Nice job!

I like the second pic better. The all white looks to much like a clock face to me.
