Gary, this is an example of what the 1980 - 1986 trucks are actually selling for.

Seems inexpensive, to me.

Hmmm... a stocking stuffer from Janey?

We were typing at the same time, Gary.

There are 5 bulbs [194] behind blue filters. Over time, the blue plastic filters become opaque. I have gone the LED route, but later decided to remove the blue filters and replace the clear bulbs with 194B [blue tint] and the result is what I imagine the dash looked like when new.

Yes, Janey is a "keeper"!

This is listed for a "Ranger", but looks to be the part you are seeking? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1980-81-Ford-pickup-Ranger-locking-hood-release/372592417355?hash=item56c03d1a4b:g:TQcAAOSw0IBcW2e7

Does the horn have a relay in the area you described?
