I had some lights out in my gauge cluster as well as some rust and dust. I removed the entire cluster which wasn't easy due to the mechanical oil pressure gauge with connected oil pressure line (tip below). I cleaned everything up, shot the surround with black paint, repainted the faded needles with silver needle paint, replaced the printed circuit, lens cover, and all the bulbs with LEDs (green for signals, red for brake and check engine and blue everywhere else. Before and after shots below.
TIP: To remove the gauge cluster with a mechanical oil pressure gauge and oil pressure line don't try to remove the line from behind the cluster. First unscrew the oil pressure gauge and carefully pull it toward you until you can see the bolt securing the line to the gauge and unbolt it that way. DO NOT START YOUR TRUCK WHILE THE LINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE GAUGE!!!
