Custom Dash

Anyone ever install a custom dash from Docs Kustom? I found one cheap at a yard sale brand new. It has 3 lights for turn signals and high/low beams. Anyone know the right wires for these lights?

Thanks

Ask your ohm meter. He'll tell you everything you ever wanted to know
about that-there new Kustom dash. ;)

I would but I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. Everytime I ask it yells at me.

Hit 'im over the head (hard) with a big hammer and get a new one? 8-/

Heck, no use messing around anyway, go straight to the source... :)
Welcome to the home of Docs Kustom - manufacturer of Billet Aluminum Products for the Streetrod Industry

Find out if the one you've got is even set up with the right gauges to match
old Ford sending units. In the process of that you'll find out which wires are
for what.

Anyway, that's the way I'd do it. Might even find a .pdf file of the instruction
manual that goes with your dash you bought. Did that yesterday on an old
product, myself. Was amazed. :) But then, I'm easily amazed and easily
entertained too so.... :/

NICE interior. I was looking at swapping in some dash parts from a '65 4-door Oldsmobile Delta 88 my G' pa has out there with his junk trucks (just as clean and mean), but now I think I'll try to mimic some of that beauty!
