I used these for the back lamps. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=251611758429 even though it states on eBay that they don't fit, you have my word they do in fact fit. They just haven't added our trucks in the fitment guide. #74 are correct.
They were perfect. I'd use something a little dimmer in the odometer, hi beam indicator, cruise and turn signals. I'd link you what I used there, but they came from China and took 3 months haha. Look on eBay for #74 led cluster bulbs. Get some that are around 5 lumen, and have a 360° spread for the light. I found the more powerful bulbs are great for the backlights and the dimmer ones are great for everything else.
Before reassembly, plug the cluster back in and check that the light works. If it doesn't, take the lamp socket out and turn the bulb 180° and reinstall.
If you need any help or have any specific questions, you can message me on here if you'd like.
