Hey shoebox,i realize this is a older thread,but i jus traded my '37 fordor in for a '51 crestline. the car was restored not too long ago,motor rebuilt new interior, gaskets and more. i will take posesion i a couple days.when i looked and drove the '51 the dash lights did not work and did not try to turn light knob to brighten up. the car has been converted to 12volt with a powergen. to my understanding ford had installed underdash somwhere a elec.device to reduce 12v to 6v even after they at factory switched to 12v in 1958. so im wondering which bulbs to try 6 or 12volt. i will probably have more questions for you as you seem to be a very good resource along with all the build sheet receipts when i get them with car. thanks in advance. Tom.
