    Under dash courtesy lamps in my 78 F-150 Ranger Lariat

    I did not. If the Bronco is still there, I may check and see about it. And seems like a no brainer upgrade to me as well.

    Under dash courtesy lamps in my 78 F-150 Ranger Lariat

    I could probably bend the bracket a little bit so they're pointing more downward, the plastic shields are there, and I also had my halogen worklight shining in through the back window too. Should have taken the pic with the worklight off to give a truer impression.

    Under dash courtesy lamps in my 78 F-150 Ranger Lariat

    Got the courtesy lights installed. Fished the wire through the wiring tunnel on underneath side of dash, and then twisted the driver side wire, and passenger side wiring together. Removed the spade terminal from the wiring harness for dome light and soldered the wires to the spade terminal and...

    Under dash courtesy lamps in my 78 F-150 Ranger Lariat

    Okay thank you. Only thing is, when I got the courtesy lights from the Bronco, I didn't get the whole harness. Just the assembly, and about 6 inches of the wire. I'll probably just find some male connectors and see if they will fit the harness where the lighter is plugged in and solder them to...

    Under dash courtesy lamps in my 78 F-150 Ranger Lariat

    underdash courtesy light wiringI picked up some underdash courtesy lights from a Bronco in the pull and pay a couple weeks ago and now I'm attempting to install them. I've started on the passenger side, and took out the door jamb switch and removed the glovebox for easier access.The...

    Pull and Pay gold

    Went to the Pull and Pay Wednesday and Thursday, scored a "new" split bench for my 78, came out of a 79. Also got the bench that goes in the extended cab. Now my question is, I want to put the seat belt retractors in my truck but didn't have the mounting bolts/plate. Any suggestions on how to...

    73-79's ..Working Trucks Today

    I like your truck Dirky. I'm going to keep mine the Jade Green when I get to the point for body work and paint. Do you have any leftover Jade Green interior parts? Looking for a dash right now.

    Shake, rattle but still rolling 78 4wheel 150

    Yes, that could definitely be the problem. I'd tighten them to the recommendations, and then take it for a test drive. Sounds like it's the problem to me though.

    V2..The Dents We Find

    14,500http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/2368080441.htmlSeems like a pretty ambitious price. Especially for a 2 wheel drive.

    Filler hose

    Guess I may just buy a pit bull and tie him to the bumper then lol.

    Filler hose

    Well both of my tanks are steel, so I doubt they want to be drilling on the tanks due to the heat build up/risk of sparks, but I guess if they're determined, there's nothing that will stop them. Hadn't really given skid plate/tank protectors much thought, but might become a necessity if thieves...

    Filler hose

    I did make the cover for the rear tank rubber filler hose portion. Got a piece of galvanized sheetmetal for like a wood burning stove chimney, and bought some metal plumbers strapping that has holes in the middle of the strapping, and bought some allen head bolts and some nuts and put 3 straps...

    Filler hose

    I do have locking caps. Didn't really consider that when I got them, that someone would cut the actual fill hose. Pisses me off, that filler hose was 50 bucks. I may try to fab up some kind of metal cover then to either rivet or screw in there. Hopefully that will make them decide it's not...

    Filler hose

    What could cause a filler hose not even a year old to tear out in the side? Either that or someone cut it and siphoned gas out of my Aux tank. Don't really know how much was in there, as the sending unit reads empty all the time. Any ideas? Also has anyone fabbed some metal kind of metal...
