Title: I picked up a box of loose ford NOS parts at an auction

I think most of this is pre mustang stuff.  Does anything mustang jump out at you.

  I see some NOS and also some of it looks to be used. Remember just because it's in a Ford box doesn't mean it hasn't been used. A lot of times the new part is taken out and the old part is put back in the box. Always check for wear or usage marks. Really need to put these in an order and number them so it would be easier for us to identify them for you.

  At the bottom right there are assorted glove box lights-button with a bulb on the other end and a short power wire. When you open the glove box door (1965-68) there is usually a pre stamped hole in the metal dash for these lights to mount so adding them is easy to do. They look to be from different years and different car lines. The switches with the light in a black mounting bracket (between the two bulb collections at the top right) are map lights that were mounted under the passengers side dash and were commonly used in the Fairlane/Torino bodied cars 1968-71 (easy to find for sale on eBay). Small black tube with red dot lens in center which has two wires with white pin ends is most likely a rear defroster indicator light. In the center of the picture seen with the purple wires is a 1967-68 floor console storage area light with plastic lens. The flasher and door open lights are more of an accessory item which usually requires drilling a hole in the metal dash for installation. The orange wire looks to have a C6OB part number so I would check a Fairlane parts book.
