Hello all,

1961 Apache pickup. This is one of those questions that I'm surprised hasn't come up a hundred times already. What is the bulb type we need for dash illumination? I need replacements but can't seem to find this simple info anywhere.

Thanks in advance,

GW

Any auto parts store worth being in business will have a catalog with the bulb numbers in it.🛠

This may help. Bulbs probably didn't change between 1957 and 1961.

Like Cuda says. #57 for the gauges & indicators. The high beam uses #53. They are available any parts store. They are real popular in truck marker lights.
