Tell me what you think. I wish the tach had a smaller bezel...

Are you sittin' down? BIG LOTS. It's just a regular quartz clock, $1.98, I took the face off and scanned it in my computer, reversed the image, then changed the numbers to look more like Ford, and finally slipped in a little oval "Ford" to top it off. It is exactly the size needed for the F600 cutout.

So you have to pop it out and replace the batteries everytime you change your oil? lol Cool Idea though.

Based on my experience with using really good (cost more) batteries, I have a quartz wall clock with all of 2004 and 8 months of 05 on the original Duracell Alkaline I put in Dec 26th 2003.

I like the F600 dash. Is it interchangeable with a F250? Are they all stainless/chrome?
