This new right hand panel I undid all of it and switched it out.
First it gave me an additional 2 more switches on both rows and the top 2 I was able to put both my moto mirrors with correct lableing.

It also gave me 4 more gauges here. Original in the center section I had engine oil temp now I add trans and rear end temperature along with suspension pressure and the empty gets a new smaller pyromiter. There is room for 2 more on the bottom but I'll be damned if I know what that might be? Open to suggestions. I know Norm would like to see an aux trans temp gauge. Then I'd have to add one.

These were and now not applicable cruise control stuff.
I'm going to make them aux generator start.
Top is on off and running indicator light.
Bottom 2 r both momentary switches left one will make a good start and run. Right one spare to be determined.

The air toggle for the 5th wheel...hmmmmm what can I make of that??? Ejection seat? Dog bisket dispenser? Taking suggestions.

I was able to remove and rearrange the labels above the switches to correct locations. However the fiber-optic style light source even when new left much to be desired and is even weaker now.

My solution is to put 2 or 3 of these above the switches. Friggin led though and I'd like do be able to dim them . But analog panel lights like these should look right I'll black them out to match everything else and I'll actually be able to easily read them in the dark. Imagine that. Exciting.Lifes simple pleasures. I don't want them noticed I want it to seem original. I'm not putting any chrome on the dash either maybe a couple more switch extenders but I don't need more the ones I put and where I put them were with reason if I embellish the others it will be with short extensions to keep the difference in length between them.
