Can anyone tell me where I can buy replacement light sockets (& bulbs) for the dash gauges on my '49 ? They don't need to be original style,or even incandecent, though I did read LEDs may not "spread" the light propely. I'm re-wiring the whole truck. (12v) Thanks, Rick topcatrfg@bellsouth.net 1953 6400 Dump Truck

Just in case you can't The Filling Station has them as well as YNZ. You'll use the #57 bulb which you can also get locally. Save a life, adopt a senior shelter pet.
