1968 40 Battery light

[illinikev]

Please help rescue my sanity. I swore in the past I had a red Battery light that would come on when I switched on the key, and it would extinguish when the truck started.

a) is there such a light in my '68 truck?
b) if so, where is it located? there's nothing i can see in the gauge cluster, and no standalone lamps I can find.

Any/all help is appreciated.

Are you thinking the parking brake light?

I think your thinking of the charge light aka dummy light on older cruisers… like on this 64’ owners manual

Funny how it shows the dummy light but description talks about an actual gauge lol

yeah I think you're right. I guess there was never a battery/charge light.
