Hey fellas! New to the forum, and I can't wait to talk to ya! Not new to the old Fords, family tradition going way back. My buddy has a 78 F-250 and his dash lights are very intermittent. We get in there to find the plastic housing the light sockets bite on to pull up tight to the printed circuit are as tough as dried up cottage cheese. (tastes better, tho). Is this the AZ heat, or a common problem? Can I find a cluster that does not have this prob? Thanks in advance!

I've had lots of old fords over the years and I only seen a few fall apart like that and yes you can find them in good shape. Look on e-bay 73-79 trucks or 78-79 bronco.
Thanks, Mike. I saw quite a few on ebay, and I'll get after 'em. Glad to know they aren't all dead!

I might be interested in your instrument cluster. My 79 Bronco has a crumbly cluster as well. As long as yours has the regulator, printed circuit and the lights worked before removal. I'm in Tennessee. Price?
