Is that a replaceable part? Or do I need to swap out the cluster? I just bought one, but when i got it home, the back crumbled in several of the bulb holes. Which is par for the course on these old trucks.

And while we are on the topic of dash lights, can you take the green filter out of the heater control light?

Yes, this part is replaceable and snaps in like a 9v battery

Cluster backs are available.
Some on FTE have bought new ones while others have bought used in great shape here in the classifeds


That cover is actually Blue

Blue with Yellow (light from the bulb) make green

Yes there are many ways to go to improve cluster lighting.

After messing with it for a while I said screw it and bought a 3 gauge set. Voltmeter, oil and water. My question now is how to wire up the dimmer for the lights. And where should I tap into for the Voltmeter? The fuse box? or can I use another keyed ignition wire?
