Help
I recently bought a fixer upper 1977 f150.
The some of my dash lights were broken off of the dash when I bought it.





Any ideas as to how to fix it would be great.
I was wondering if maybe there was a glue that was UV removable or something because I want to be able to replace the bulbs in the future.
Thanks

Also, if anyone has a four speed shift **** for a 1977 ford truck please contact me

 

Did a search for "ford dash bulb holder" and multiple results came back. Here's an amazon link that came up:

They also have LED replacements, etc, etc. Seems like a common thing that gets lost/broken and needs replaced.

 

Couldnt you just get a different gauge cluster and transfer your speedo with the correct miles in?

Edit: nevermind, it looked like the gauge cluster was broken in the area where the light holder locks itself in. Instead of ordering them, just go find an 70s-86 ford and take them out. A few bucks at most or free if you bundle it with something else

 

Thanks Braggs i'll look into that

 

84Red parts for 1970s ford trucks are not that common where I live so i'm trying to reuse what I can

 

The 80-86 trucks will use the same light holder. Not sure about 87-96.

 

They are broken out.
I have started laser cutting a patch panel to go between the back of the dash and the circuit board in the affected areas. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

I have an 8 ball for my shifter....

 

Update.
I have got the panel repaired but the bulbs only light up when pushed on in a certain way.
Is there a way to clean the contacts? or attach them permanently?

 

The bulb holders get crappy at connecting after a while. I tried cleaning the hell out of mine but was only partially successful. I ended up ordering all new ones for a couple bucks and they work great now.
