Thanks for the advice. I need to dig into the dash anyway to replace a couple of bulbs and will try moving the ammeter needle. It could be stuck.

My coolant temp gauge quit some time ago and a new sending unit didn't fix the problem. So I already have an accessory temp gauge below the dash. Maybe the Ford gauges are not as durable as the rest of the truck.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the old 84. It has a 460 with an aftermarket AFB carb and has 4 wheel drive. I don't think there is any way I could get that much pulling power for any where near as little money as my old Ford. It has always been very dependable. I won't brag about the gas mileage, but on the other hand, I don't drive it every day.

But old stuff does have its little annoyances and kinks.....
