I bought the switches new and the pigtail harness off Ebay, they are oem ford parts and the switches are expensive. I wired them myself to relays cause the switches themselves can't handle very many amps. 2 out of the 6 are on there own power circuit so you can have 4 work in ignition and 2 work off the battery or vice versa.

That's quite the idea, I have a switch panel laying in my toolbox at work, but i dont want to buy a complete harness due to the price, even though I work at a Ford dealer, and get one hell of a discount on parts, it's still ridiculous. Even on Ebay now. Hopefully I find one in the boneyard tomorrow when I go looking for a compass/temp mirror vehicle.

The 4 upfitter switches are cheaper and they been putting them in trucks since 2016 maybe older so there might be a better chance of finding them in the junkyard

I already have the 6 switch panel laying in my toolbox. A customer bought a new 18 F350, and didnt want the switches, so I hung onto them. No one has asked for them, and it's been over a year now. But the harness is something like $140 or $150, so I'd rather get a pigtail from a wrecked truck for $20

I don't know if you had any luck finding a pigtail for your switches but the one that I have for mine has a MOLEX P.N. 34728-0120. Which doesn't come up online but a 34729-0120 does and seems to be right one but get mixed results with the images for that number.
Heres pictures of mine. Hopefully it helps.

Where did you get the white face gauges? That looks good and I'd like to do that to my 99 Burb.
