Is there a way to clean or polish the instrument cluster face to get it clearer? Mine is foggy and it can be hard to see sometimes. I see the one in this truck is beautifully clear and clean.

I have an extra lens I was going to try the headlight restore stuff on to see if it would clear it up. I have heard toothpaste works but never tried it.

I just did mine a couple weeks ago.
I wet sanded with 1200 grit. That's all I had and would go finer if you have it. Then I put a 6" buffing wheel in my hand held drill and buffed it out.
If I used my drill press, I found that I was using too much pressure and the plastic would just start to melt. I had a better feel with the drill.
Take your time.

The headlight stuff worked great! I can SEE my odometer now. Even from outside the truck. Before I could barely see it at all. I polished off all the gauges and it looks almost as good as new.

What brand, and where'd you get it?

I'm familiar with the truck. I see it at the Cruise In. Great condition.
