Truck Dash Gauge Housing

I think that's the year they converted over from metal to plastic on the housings. I converted my '78 to the early metal housing. The plastic housings had a bad habit of melting around the ammeter posts. Once they melted a bit, the wire connections got looser, connections arced even more, and everything melted more until you had a real problem. I also soldered the ammeter posts to the straps they pass through, and double nutted the wire connections. No way it's coming loose now!:thumbsup:
