Mine was the newer style that has the printed circuit board (you can find them with the same plug as your stock truck as well) so I had to get the wire plug from the truck to go with the F600 panel then I cut the old plug off the stock 69 cluster and wired them together to plug into my truck. Here are a couple of pics to better show what I did.

If you have the older style it will just plug right in as long as yours was full instruments, otherwise you will have to move a couple of wires if I remember right. :thup:

If it Looks good and Works good then it's ok by me. Everything has its issues from time to time...

The one in this picture that goes to the connector with the orange and blue wire, this is the power to the Turn Signal Flasher (orange wire) and the (blue wire ) goes to the Turn Signal Switch. connector is for the flasher can.
