dash lights

This seems like a silly question BUT are all the bulbs in the dash cluster on my 79 f-350 the same wattage and what wattage would that be?
The rear upper shock mount is gone(rust) which would be a better solution,
1, make a new crossmember and put mounts on that?
2, get a salvage crossmember and rivet that in place of the old one?
Thanks for any opinions.

Mike.

The shock mount depends on your fabrication skills and whether you can scrounge one easily.

I finally got fed up with "dim" dash lights in my truck with my old eyes. I opened up the cluster and removed the blue filters from the general lighting bulbs and I have all the light I can stand. Also, you can get the #194 bulbs in different colors. Experment to see what you like.
