Installing Gauge Where 4wd Buttons Go

[exbass94]

Has anyone installed a gauge where the 4wd buttons go, with the 2nd gen dash? I know at least one person here has done it. I remember seeing pictures of it. Who was it? I'm looking for some pics to give me ideas. I want to basically do the same thing to my full size Bronco.

Yes, exactly. Who's truck is that? I would like some details on that plate the gauge is mounted to.

On my choptop I just used a bit of 1/8" styrene that I painted black to fit in there and put a bunch of switches in.

It's my Bronco II. I removed the switch panel, cut a piece of plastic to fit in the recess, drilled a hole for the gauge, and I believe the bracket on the back of the gauge holds it all in place.

There is the switches I did in mine.

I used to have a pic of mine but not anymore... I just took a piece of textured plastic (I think it was the paper tray from an old typewriter...) and cut it to fit in the vent housing, I put a few pieces of foam tape behind the panel on the vent housing to keep the plastic piece in, it's held for like 6 years like that so far...
