Light bulb replacement for my dash lights

[1964_C10]

I'm in the middle of getting my 1964 Chevy C10 running and I've decided to rewire the entire thing with the american auto-wire complete wiring kit. When i got to doing the instrument cluster I realized I don't know the light bulb #s for the dash lights and etc. Does anyone know what #s light bulbs I need for the dash lights?

According to the manual you need 4- # 57 lamps 2 CP

Thank you very much that helps a lot! But I have about 8-9 light sockets that need bulbs.

I've done that kit on my '61, and LOVED it.
There is ONE complaint I have though--the plastic light bulb sockets they provide with the kit. They don't stay in the back of the dash very well.

The next one I do for my K10, I will reused the original metal sockets.

On my Suburban, I'm going to try to order new wire ends to convert mine back to the metal sockets.

dash lights, turn signals, bright, idiot lights....
Are you running gauges or warning lights?

oil pressure indicator (1) #57 2CP
generator indicator (1) #57 2CP
instrument cluster (4) #57 2CP
high beam indicator (1) #53 1CP
tach gauge lamp (1) #57 2CP
directional signal lamp (1) #57 2CP

In the manual for directional lamp it states (1) but I think that means (1) each left, right

Hope this helps.
