Ok so I'm planning on disassembling the dash here soon. First of all I need to know what each of these knobs are for. I have an idea of what they might be based on the big letters on the face of a couple. But there are a couple that are missing and couple that are not labeled. Oh and what is the little button switch on the floorboard next to the clutch?

Also I plan on tearing this truck down to the frame. None of the electrical is functional, nor are the knobs or cables. Do I still need to take as many pics as possible even though I'm going to replace about 90% of the dash? (Cause its a birds nest behind there) Are there important steps that I need to make note of? I might re-route everything anyways for a cleaner look, but just in case.

see this .... the farthest left knob not in that pic is the light switch ... the 'button' on the floor is the headlight dimmer switch, if you get a factory fuse panel it mounts above that in a cutout of the 'dash mat', it was only installed when a number of electrical options were ordered

if you keep the 6 cyl and don't add a bunch of modern electrical accessories, the stock arrangement can be pretty clean, no birds nests involved - I notice you don't have turn signals, you might want to try and find an original unit to replace that plain cup below the steering wheel

What you need is a readily available owners manual, as it will show the correct placement of the knobs controls etc. on the dash.


Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.

Tim, Thanks a lot. I have a file like this saved, but its for the truck specs. Never even thought to look for the actual operators manual. I appreciate that man!!

This is what I have. Wow just realized that it is the same website. Smh....
