Quick Gauge cluster question
Headlights, taillights, blinkers and interior lights all work. The only thing that works on the gauge cluster is the speedo; no backlights, no fuel gauge, etc. Thoughts on where to start?

The rheostat on the headlamp switch might be bad, causing flickering/no dash lights. The fuel tank sender could be bad, or the float that hooks to the sender is full of gas (float: two pieces of copper soldered together).
Behind the dash gauge cluster is a small regulator, called a CVR..constant voltage regulator..when it starts to fail, gauges move to and fro, When it fails, gauges go dead
B9MZ-10804-C Regulator, Constant voltage
C5TZ-11654-C Switch, Headlamp
C0AZ-9202-A Float, Fuel Tank Sender
C0AZ-9A011-A Screen. Fuel Tank Sender (small filter that attaches to pickup tube).

Maybe the ground wire from the cluster to the dash chassis broke off ?
The part that Numberdummy mentioned can also be had at auto parts houses under an aftermarket name.
The bulbs are #194's
Take the cluster out and see what you find.
