Re: 50 years ago I was given this USAF 54 3100
Back to fixing stuff. The shift indicator illumination bulb was burnt out so a quick trip to autoparts store was in order. Like everyhting today the cost of the bulbs was up to a whopping $15.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (you has to buy a pack of two for some reason. Uh, NO! Anyway way too much for a tiny bulb and ever use the other. Gave it some thought and realized i had a whole pack of small led panel lights (3 for $0.99 on ebay). After some fiddling the panel was attached with its own sticky back tape and some leads were soldered on. Whole thing was encased in some unshrunk for now) shrink tube and run down the side of the column. Already wired the truck so all the dash lights come on when key is on and had taps ready. I need the extra lights in the day and night, Pics say it all.
