Sorry I only have one Vacuum Gauge right now I'm going to use.

Putting this here it ended up in the wrong place.

Here's the back side of the F600 Cluster. This is set up for the 1969 model year some modifications of the wiring as the blinker in the cluster harness. The blinker harnesses I ordered only came with red and black wires. So the red wire goes to the blue wire on the truck harness. If you had the cluster out of 69 model year you know what I'm talking about. Not sure if the harness is the same for 67-68. 70 and above are circuit board. I made them plug and play. Just noticed I pulled the bulbs out of the lower and forgot to put them back in for the pic. They are LED.

Ready for primer wish I'd taken a before cleanup pick it looked terrible. Also during cleanup I found a crack backfilled it with CA glue it should be good to go.

Here's a gauge set I just finished cleaning and painting the needle's. Use a real fine small paint brush with gentle strokes to clean the face's. DO NOT USE ANY LIQUIDS otherwise you will be looking for new gauge's.

Now just make the bezel look this good.
