Are you aware that the POS composition cluster backs used 1975/79 can TURN TO DUST before your very eyes?

Are you aware what FoMoCo did to solve the problem?
Thanks, Bill, for the additional cluster info!

As far as the composite material going to pieces - yeah, I know all about that! I'm still picking pieces out of my dash and carpet. I pulled the assembly out to change a bulb and it disintegrated in my hands. I believe the composite material has been replaced by plastic.

Currently, I have two bulbs in the brown truck that don't light up because the backing is gone and the bulbs no longer lock down. Gonna be searching for another cluster back soon.

1981: Ford came out with hard plastic cluster backs for Econolines, these were also the service part replacements for the crappy compositions.
