Nice!

I was pleasantly surprised when i got my 76 recently, that they all work!
Come to think of it, As far as i know they all work in my bronc... the 78 250 only has the gas gauge working though, and a after market oil pressure gauge... all that it's needed for about 20 years.(speedo don't work either) Got another gauge cluster for it, just gotta get it swapped someday...

just one by one
got a better gauge cluster from salvage yard...mine was desoving for lack of a better word, the backing would break if you touched it at all...
the voltmeter worked, alternator was a good reman
the oil pressure gauge needed a new sender
temperature gauge needed a new sender too
gas gauge, took the sender out of it and the float was gone, got a float and voila! everything worked!

just good ole-stick-to-itiveness!
