98 xlt gauges/01 sport trac gauges

[jonny 5]

I have a 98 XLT, will the white gauges in the sport trac fit over mine?

I figure that it would be cheaper for ford to do ths however whos knows

Thanks in advance

If you have even average mechanical abilities, you would probably be better off buying the white gauge faces from www.nrauto.com and installing them yourself. It is a common project lately, and there are instructions on this site. The link below shows what the NRAuto faces look like on my 98. http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1254494&a=9276113&p=40177518

yeah but they would be cheaper if i could find an explorer sport trac and use those gauges
I just want to know if they would fit

I don't know if the ST gauges or faces would fit, or if you can even get the faces seperately. Your chances of finding a wrecked ST are probably slim, but you can try e-mailing Torrie at www. fordpartsnetwork.com , he has pretty reasonalbe prices. I have a hard time believing you can do that swap for less than $100 though. Good luck.

Well the 2001 sports use the white face gauges and im sure you can find some of those wrecked or even the sport tracs wrecked. Keep your eyes peeled.

Ok, on the left is a shot of the ST guages and on the right is a shot of guages off my 99 XLT. Its hard to tell, but I think you could swap them, but there is a slight problem. The factory guages are glued on to the instrument cluster and are hard to get off with out damaging them. I think you best bet would be to do what I did and get a set of the Indiglo guages from http://www.indigloguages.com for $79.00 shipped. This way you get your white guages and the indiglo effect at night. Check out my write up on how to install them: Dead Link Removed


Question: Does anybody know where I could get a set of the ST needles. I think they would look real good over the indiglo guages.
