Looking for that small box with the lens that goes in the dash bezel above the speedo and the giant fuel gauge for the blind. Would need whatever light-socket setup that goes behind it too.

Dont care about the overall shape of the lens as I'll make a new one - but do need it for the pattern.

Whoever has one they dont need.....let me know your demands.

Hnmmm…

I can’t remember if I still have it…

I had a gauge assembly and bezel from a diesel suburban laying around. Not sure if it survived the last trip to the dump though. I should be able to look for it on Sunday if another one doesn’t turn up

For whatever reason, they were sometimes used in some mid 80's gas trucks too.

I have one, but I have no idea what box it got put into when I moved.

Water in fuel & glow plug. Some of the gas trucks had a choke light in there.

You holding that lens reminds me of a customer fail inspection due to no MIL on KOEO. Hooked scanner up & there were plenty of DTC's. Pulled the cluster & sure enough, the bulb & socket were missing. Shined a light thru & then you could see the MIL! He purchased from a private owner & it cost him $1K in repairs due to a sneaky PO.
