Looking for some help before I muck something up. My speedo's light bulb(s?) are burnt out and I would like to replace them. They don't seem to come off the back or twist out and not sure how they are accessed.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,

They sometimes fit pretty tight but they should just pull straight out. They are held in place by friction fit provided by small spring action 'fingers'.

Is your truck a GMC or a Chevrolet?

yikes!
Thanks for the responses here, I have a 1953 GMC 1/2 ton Canadian, so basically its a Chevy truck with GMC badging. Its a 235 4 speed, goes slow and steady, likes to get hot but likes to go... fun truck, enjoy using it to do 'work'. Nothing like construction site stuff, but old truck stuff, like taking bottles to the depot, picking up supplies at the local hardware store or grocery shopping. Low intensity work for elderly vehicles.
Thanks again for the responses and sorry for the slow response, I am going to go and gingerly pop that bulb out.
