Easy question, I hope

Will you be using the interior plastic dash trim? There are some trim pieces that go on the face of the passenger side dash and cover up that square hole for the seatbelt light.

Not using deluxe trim, thanks

Good luck trying to find the park light on the left side. It is for your parking brake and let’s you know if you have it engaged View attachment 90669View attachment 90670

It doesn't matter that it's a 72 dash to me. I'm not restoring it. After looking at many online, they vary from one hole to two holes plus a defrost switch. It has a tach, but didn't come with deluxe interior. I'm actually changing everything to the NVU gauges. I'm leaving it in metal. Thanks for the input

Here is what I used if you want to put something in that hole. Got it off eBay for about 30$

I saw those for the early Broncos. I wasn't sure how they would fit. Did you have to modify the hole to install it?

That is just the bezel, you also have to get the bulb socket:

I also found this when I was looking for one, is actually from a riding lawnmower

I'm not really happy with either one of them. I may wind up with one of these from Amazon, even though I need one for just brakes, not parking brakes

Or this one, slect your own symbol

That is a good option.

On my '71, the belts warning light bezel just self destructed one day, after looking around for a good replacement, and finding nothing, I went to my local auto parts store and bought a red indicator lamp with chrome bezel, like some of you have done. It, of course, doesn't say "belts" on it, but it operates the same way, illuminating for a moment then goes out. Best of all, it fills the hole which became an eyesore after the original bezel disintegrated.

Also, what goes in the rectangle slot above the glove box? There was a plastic trim piece I removed, but nothing inside of it. I got this car in pieces and it's been a jigsaw puzzle with lots of missing pieces and no detailed pictures for reference lolView attachment 90553

That dash frame came out of a 72 or 73. Definitely not a 71. That seat belt reminder above the glovebox is a 72 or 73 only.
