Instrument Cluster Questions

Couple of questions.

1. Did all the factory issued early Bronco (66 to 77) instrument clusters have an amp gauge (charge/discharge) or were there clusters with a voltmeter??

2. Did all of the factory issued instrument clusters use 'text' on the gauges (fuel - oil - temp - amps) or were there clusters that use 'pictograms' (a gas pump symbol - oil can symbol - thermometer in water, etc)???

Change over model year or change date if there were different versions???

No volt meters on anything, car or truck, till the 1980's.

No pictograms used till the 1980's either.

The round cluster used on 1966/77 Bronco's is the same as used on 1961/66 F100/1100's.

Some of these F Series clusters came with all four gauges, some only came with the Temp & Fuel gauge.
