Fuses may be good but is there any rust in the fuse holder clips? Take a test light and test the fuses individually.

Had same problem on my 68 , looked up the wiring diagram you can find on this site , traced it to the wire going to the dash lights from the fusebox , the terminal had broke right at the fusebox. That was mine , could be anywhere on yours! Good luck , took me some time to trace mine out.

Not a 100% sure but I think the tail lights are also on that circuit. Do you have tail lights?

Re: dash light's stoped working ??

Dash light wire is grey and also includes light in heat/defrost controls. If that light works it is probably the ground wire on the dash bezel.
