56 instrument cluster module holes?

[KULTULZ]

there does not appear to be any casing numbers on either one. The one with the holes in it on the back lower right side there is: Ks-2 49204. Those are the only number on them. The one without the holes has no numbers at all.

!!! Thanx !!!​

mercman -
That is the 57 BIRD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ...

Side-by-side photos of the main differences, in addition to the engine-turned aluminum faceplate.

The opening at the bottom center of the '56 sedan style dash is more angular than the half-circle of the '57 T-Bird version.
The T-Bird speedometer shows 140 mph, the others are 120.
The full-sized '57 Fords had a different style dashboard & speedometer.

Just where are the warning lamps on the 56 FORD? Does it have them? I see where it uses gauges.
