Dash lights - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just wondering if anyone has a parts dash laying around? I know I could go down to the local dealer and pick up a couple lamp holders, but I figure I would ask the experts. I was chasing a, hopeful, wiring problem with my fuel gage to find out why only half my speedo gage lights up and the oil pressure has no light. Both are missing the entire lamp holders. I know I replaced all 9 of those bulbs before putting the dash back on. Just wondering if anyone might have some laying around or if they carry them at any of the parts stores. If not, I will be heading to the junk yards and taking my chances reaching into a blind area. I hate snakes. Thanks for any help b

Try O'Reillys. Not sure if 1/2" or 5/8" hole size.

^^ thanks. Didn't know i could do that WHEN I NEED TO ORDER THEM!

OK, I couldn't provide the size when I posted above. I was 140 miles from my truck. I'm there now.

I just measured a spare cluster I have with a caliper. It says 0.625" (5/8").

EDIT: If you are in Southern Pines, it appears Autozone has a store in Aberdeen. They also carry the sockets. Here's a link.

Thanks man. I appreciate that. It would be easy to take them to the store and compare, but they are not carried at my local parts store. Thanks again for the help.

See the edit to my post above. It appears your local Autozone (Aberdeen) should have them!
