Original or not.....
Hi David
From all the cab 11/12 and C8 I have seen I have never seen that little dash light. That being said it is old and looks right in that spot. Your light has a very diffirent configuration that those seen on cab 13 or even jeeps...... If it works and serves a purpose keep it in place..... makes your truck unique. Nice to catch up on your site on Monday morning and see the progress you are making..... keep it up. Boob

Thanks Andrew and Bob,
Was browsing around looking at cab 11/12 dash photos, and noticed this one has a hole in the same spot, but no light... Also noticed that the wiring diagram shows three instrument lights. The cluster only has two, so where is the third one supposed to be? I had been looking at the headlight high beam indicator light on the back of the cluster and thinking it was the third light... Oh well, I'll just paint it and keep it in. It looks good, serves a purpose and I don't want to weld the hole up and re-finish the dash again. Thanks, David

David, that's the hole that the vacuum line for the wipers goes through then it runs up the inside of the windshield centre post to a tee above the windshield.

Thanks, David!
Haven't even thought about the vaccuum windshield wiper installation yet! Just learning this stuff as I go along, and I'm sure many mistakes and wrong assumptions are to follow..... Your imput is always greatly appreciated as your C8 is very close to mine in production. Not trying to keep beating a dead horse here, but there is also another hole of the same size in the crest of the angle iron just above the hole the light was in... Any thoughts? Thanks, David

On my C15 the windshield is pushed back in the centre and I couldn't see that other hole. I looked under the hood and sure enough that's where the wiper vacuum hose goes up through the dash. I'll check my C8 tomorrow to see what I've missed.

David, Excellent work on the dash! I can certainly use this as a guide when I get to refurbish my gauge cluster....although my speedo gauge was lying rusted on the cabin floor with the needle missing in action.
I have attached a few pics of my C8 dash to add to the discussion. Alex

David Pope is correct....
Hi David
See the two pictures.... the first one is my own dash set up for my C15a cab 11....the other from a cab 11 in a junk yard It is the hole for the vacuum line..... Boob

Ok! That laid that to rest......
Little light goes in the extra parts bin, and onto other things! Thanks all for the great information. Couldn't get this far without you guys! Thanks again, David
