It is I, The Mighty Quinn.

I purchased my Dads old truck almost two years ago now. Figures its high time I join up a forum for when I need assistance. Example, I need to figure out why the dash lights have stopped working despite the fuse not being blown.

Any who, it's a '78 F250 Custom with a 400M and a 4 speed manual. Geared so low it can crawl up trees. I've been doing some work on bringing it back to life as its been sitting since I bought it. And for the years before that the only thing it did was plow my parents driveway and the occasional mile long trip to the dump.

A few pictars for your veiwing pleasure.



Those two exterior shots are from last year, but it looks the same now, so...

Couple weekends ago I took it to my land up north.


And the engine as it sits currently.

I've not seen nothing like the mighty Quinn.

Nice pictures. The ground for the dash lights might be your problem. I don't have a clue where it is.

Anthony Quinn would be a hard name to live up too.

Welcome to the site....headlight switch might be the issue as well.

Welcome to FTF
Nice looking truck.

Thanks all!

I was able to figure out the dash light situation. A combination of dimmer switch acting funky and then blowing the fuse. Got it sorted though and everything works as it should again.
