The F600 panels that will fit the '67-'72 trucks come from '67-'79. The '67 style is different from the '68-'79 style, as pictured here:

Here's a better view of a '67 F600 panel (this is the one going into my truck):

Here's a '59 instrument panel:

Similar...but still very different.

Not at all! It's actually a very popular swap. They show up on E-bay from time to time and get anywhere from $50-$250. There's one on there now, in fact....the chrome/black version.

Also, take a look at the LINKS PAGE. There are several vendors listed there with different billet instrument panel types. More expensive, but very nice.
