    Thought maybe some of you would like seeing this, my 76 dash with an OEM clock, its the only one I have ever ran across myself, if you ever wondered what went in that knock-out hole in the dash face, thats what went there :D

    Yeah, I thought it was kinda cool, ran across it years ago, has correct mounts on the rear that bolt to existing mounts on rear of panel, same color lighting as the rest of the stuff, and best of all, it works and keeps pretty close time. even has that old school tick tick tick :)
    Nuff, I think the red light your talking about is a exhaust temp warning light, warns you if the cat converter gets too hot on models so equipped, later trucks they moved it from the square knock out to the speedo cluster in the center between speedo and gauges.
