Switches

Since they're incandescent they're not as bright as an LED would be and my view of that panel is slightly obscured by the shifter lever anyway. I found the circuit I tapped into that I mentioned earlier is a Key on circuit so there's no danger of leaving them on by mistake.

I found some metal parts under the dash but they don't seem to have continuity to the negative terminal of the battery.

Wired with a ring terminal and an extra nut on the bottom of that strap holding the horizontal bar for ground, found a key on power source to the fuse panel and learned that save for four mounting screws across the bottom of the dash, the lower and upper dash is snap-fit. This surprised me, but then I haven't driven anything later than an '81 in recent years. The lights work fine now just wiating on parts to finalize the switch.

Eventuallly I'm going to make my own battery cables for this truck 'BBB' as I did for 'BB'
