Idiot light gauge cluster

I have a 76 F250 with idiot lights. I don’t currently have a working fuel gauge, idiot lights, or temp gauge. Basically just the speedometer works. It seems impossible to find replacements. Are there aftermarket options to fit the 14 pin gauge cluster that I’m not able to find or what are my options? Feeling pretty helpless. Thanks!

Sorry I can't help you.
I have the same instrument cluster as you and I hate it.

The oil pressure idiot light is disconnected and I replaced OP sending unit with a mechanical oil pressure gauge.
And I unplugged the brake pressure differential switch to shut the damn brake light off.
The alternator light still functions properly.

As I understand it, it is not easy to just swap to a 4 gauge instrument cluster, the wiring it different and so are the sending units. Option is to get a mechanical oil pressure gauge T'ed in and mount the gauge face it in a place easily watched. And you should be able to also use the OEM red warning light.

Rocketman gauge conversion of the ALT warning light to an actual amp gauge. https://www.rccinnovations.com/index...=menu-volt-all F100C7VO
