I am not so sure that the EL wire directs enough light or not to the very areas I want illuminated. I have some on order and will at least check them out.

Thanks for the info.
Strange that there is no evidence of a dash Light being there.

PIckups were always "no frills" so Ford could keep the price low for the working man.

I wonder if maybe they did not put lights in the 30 PUs, being as the Depression was in full swing by 1930 and every dollar counted.
