Cubby hole clock.

Completely missing the point. It's "his truck" if he wants a clock he's not wrong for putting one in. Do what you want with yours.
Personally I think it's the perfect size for pickled eggs!

There is a clock on the screen.

Nice thought but the vibration from the vehicle would destroy the works. They aren't built for that kind of punishment. Auto clocks were designed for holding up against vibration and high temp swings. Do a search for restored or new replacement autoclocks you may find one that fits.

Thanks for the advice...obviously, I need it.

an old style non digital clock might be cool

Yeah I put an analog clock in my cubby in March.

I like to pretend I'm driving a Jaguar or Rolls.

If you need a clock that can handle heat and vibration from a car, check out the analog style clock in a wrecked or junked 2004 up Chrysler 300. Diameter is about 1&3/4" diameter, is light blue electroluminescent back lit. Pretty classy. It uses 3 wire hookup. Batt hot, chassis ground, gage dimmer hot for backlighting. Can probably get a bezel 3D printed for it.

I decided to add a clock to the cubby hole. Yes, I know there is one on the display screen already. I found a digital clock at Walmart the was a little big and chopped it up so it would fit the cubby. It is a little crude and I am going to clean it up some.... But I think it turned out pretty good. I wanted to keep all the functions... That was a challenge.

Bought this as air freshener in 2001 for my Jeep tj still have it im told it matches my attitude

Being a clockmaker I have to say I like it. Need to do a better job on the case but overall nice idea.
Off to the junk yard to find me a mechanical clock to repair and retrofit!

A cookoo clock would be awesome there.

Porsche gets it too!

People are coming up with interesting solutions to filling the cubby holes. It is such an odd size. Too small to hold very much but big enough that it almost begs to be used.

I bet that's just Fords way of getting peoples creativity flowing. I am kinda torn on several ideas for it. I have seen a 3D printed drawer that slides in there that I like. I am also a Wile E.Coyote fan. I may find a figurine of my hero to put in there. The clock is a pretty cool idea but kind of redundant IMO. I have a clock on my phone, and other than making it to work on time, I dont really care what time it is any other time of day lol

Or maybe a boost gage mount, but I can fabricate that myself. I really want a vacuum/boost gage for this truck. I had one in an 88 daytona shelby I had. It made banging gears all the more satisfying. Hopefully somebody will come out with an A pillar pod for that. A triple a pillar pod would be even better. I can add A/F ratio, EGT, and boost pressure. I'm thinking autometer cobalt series gages would work well in this application

True... I have been playing with ideas too... I just wanted something digital to try out. The fun was taking apart the clock and rebuilding it to fit. My next project might be more involved for the cubby. We'll see where it takes me. I've been considering getting a 3d printer... Time to research it more.

Nice!!! The one on the 8” screen is small & difficult to locate & see.

Etsy has a bunch of these along with other options for that cubby.

I purchased this for my dash cubby area. Perfect fit change and a cord wrap.
