Thanks guys!
Christian, it wasn't very hard, but time consuming. I drew the letters onto a piece of tape, used an exacto knife and carved them out, then used MULTIPLE layers of Testors paint to give it a solid look, and it turned out very clean IMO. I let it sit for 15 minutes before I peeled the tape back.
Thanks again for the compliments. Hopefully I'll have the cluster installed soon....(story of my life)

I'm not.
I don't plan on selling my truck. Therefore, I'm going to go by the dealership and obtain one of those labels that shows mileage BEFORE the odo was swapped, and place it inside the door. I've got 61K on my truck right now. So, I'd put 61K on the label and just swap the new cluster in.
It is possible to swap out the odo between clusters, but it involves pulling the needles, and I don't want to mess with the factory calibration.
Thanks for all the compliments guys!

i need to get a new cluster anyway because my temp gauge decided to die on me due to me being an idiot at one point in time when i had to change a burned out bulb....i didnt know about this sticker thing....i dont plan on selling my truck anytime soon either, even if i wanted something else i'd keep it as a beater...
how much is this sticker thing gonna run you? any info u got i need!

quick word of wise....
Ford wont do that....At least not in ohio, they first said they cant do it unless they install the cluster themselves (which i had already done) then they said they order clusters from ford with the mileage already at the right place, therefore they wont install yours...
how the guy did suggest going to the highway patriol or something and have them do it, instead i just swap my odometer over, which then changed the odometer color went form white to black
