I am taking the cluster out. Does the knob for the headlights just pull off? I am pulling really hard and it is not budging...

Wow, I can't believe how well you guys know these trucks...

How do I get the ignition out and the cigarette lighter? It's a '72 if it matters...

After you pull that knob out, check & see if your lights are on.

It's just a cab, I am taking everything out for paint. I still can't figure out how this ignition switch is supposed to come out...maybe mine is just corroded or something. I can't get it to move.

I had a hard time with mine to. I ended up giving it a small squirt of WD-40 and it loosened right up. The actual key center part will come out separate from the ring bezel. Just keep at it, it will come out
