  1. Dome Light, Paint Job and Possible Seat Belt Repair/Replace 1977 F 150

    Thank you all. Just need to get a little time and some funds to get it going again.
  2. Dome Light, Paint Job and Possible Seat Belt Repair/Replace 1977 F 150

    Thank you all for the information. I did the painting and only used a quart. Just used a foam roller. Overall I am satisfied but the job is not a high quality covering. Although it does look much better than it did. I still need some work. As for seat belts, I am still considering that job. My...
  3. Dome Light, Paint Job and Possible Seat Belt Repair/Replace 1977 F 150

    Just got a new dome light bezel, new cover and a new bulb. I haven't started yet but I assume I will have to splice in the wiring and that there won't be a my terminals. Hoping it will be a straight forward project. Also would like to know if two quarts of paint will cover if I do not paint...
  4. Gauge Problem

    Mine would be the one wqith the warning lights and not geuges. Thank you for the info.
  5. Gauge Problem

    Thank you Bill. After looking at mine, that "turn to dust" is pretty much what is going on with mine. Not sure which one I need. There are a fuel gauge and temperature gauge - both work occasionally from whst I can tell. I am assuming the turn sugnals, high beam light, alternator light, oil...
  6. Gauge Problem

    Thanks Russell. If I did all that, it would look better than the rest of truck. It needs body work and other things out of my reach now. I have it running pretty decent though.
  7. Gauge Problem

    Thank you both. Good advice. It is pretty chilly here and I have to work outside so may have to wait on repairs. The dash back part looks like a necessity now. I seldom drive the truck but recent car problems put it on the road. Found out it doesn't like snowy roads.��
  8. Gauge Problem

    Thank you. Looks like most of my issues are related. I guess speedometer must be separate. Also I cannot remove the knob on my headlight switch. How did you remove knobs...the windshield wiper was already off when I got truck. Thanks again.
  9. Gauge Problem

    I have a 1977 F150 6cylinder. The plastic part behind dash cluster is pretty much gone. None of my lights work although once I a while I catch a faint glimpse of a signal blinking. Obviously I need that part and others have posted to me before concerning thst issue. What I want to know is if...
  10. Turn Signal Help

    Thank you. Bill -I Took off dash cover and exposed dashback and found the flasher hanging behind it just like everyone said. I swapped it out with the 4-way flasher and it works fine. The turn signal looked like the original one since it was marked Motorcraft Part, etc Thank ands I will get...
  11. Turn Signal Help

    Thank you Frank. I'll try and look around tomorrow. With my luck, even if it has two - that would be too simple a solution.:)
  12. Turn Signal Help

    I have a 1977 F-150 Custom with a 4.9l and automatic transmission. My turn signals don't flash. The emergency flashers work fine. All bulbs are lit and flash. Found flasher for emergency flasher but not one for turn signals...if there is another one. I'm confused because the flashers work fine...
