Unknown lamp
I just bought an original 76 f250 highboy, on the bottom of the dash, just above the transfer case shift lever, there is a small rectangular light ( I assume its a light), can anyone tell me what this is? Is it just a dome light or what? right now it is inop, but i just was curious what it was for, I will post a pic shortly.

I'll be dipped................didn't know that..........guess that shows how uncommon the full time 4wd's were around my part of the country. I've literally been in 100's of 4x4 Dents, either never noticed the light or something......... Anyone got a pic?

They were somewhat uncommon everywhere i think, at least among f250's (highboys) i know the very few full-time (np203) highboys i've come across are always paired with an automatic tranny and a t-case strut.

Got a source for this part
I'd install it just..... because.....
I could make it work with the 205 shifter, it aint worth it. I'd have it come on with the dashlights mayby.

I don't see why you couldn't, i know some chevys and dodges with np205's have dash or floor mounted 4x4 shift indicator lights, i believe the switch is used in place of the np205's poppet plug, just a thought.
