No Dash Lights?

I have a 79 F-250 and I can't figure out why the dash lights won't work. All my fuses are good. Don't know where else to check for problems. Any ideas?

You could have a problem with your headlamp switch. Twist the **** back and forth and see if they flicker. There is a rehostat on the front of the switch that could be burnt out, though they should work I believe if you turn the **** all the way counterclockwise.

Clockwise is Brightest
Counter-clockwise is dimmest

It's probably the headlight switch as they do go bad.
