I need some opinions from y'all.When Ford restyled the F-Series in 1980,they used clear parklights under the headlights.For 1981+,they switched to an amber color.My truck was missing one of the original parklights,so I put some Amber ones in.Well,the 80 F150 i've been pulling my Ranger Lariat parts off of has good intact Clear Parklights on it,and I've been tempted to put the clear ones back on my truck for sake of originality.But i'm still torn on it.What do you guys think?Keep in mind that the marker lights on the Fenders are amber 80-86,which is why i'm so torn on this.Vote,or post your opinion.Thanks!

Amber gets my vote. Clear just says 'euro' to me.

and dam dude ive forgotten how far youve gotten the truck. still long ways to go though.

Yea,I was just looking at that pic and it definitely has come a long ways.I've gotten it to where I'm happy with it on the outside and inside,it's about time to start playing with everything that makes it move.

Oh I am.

Yep you do.You just need a repaint.lol.j/k.

eh...... it needs the whole suspension gone over cause it creaks and pops on rough roads, the body needs to be worked on a good bit on the drivers side.

and other than that ive done bout all of it to it. the only other thing i can think of is new carpet and resealing my front windshield and fixing both window motors.

My truck doesn't creak or nothin surprisingly.It just bounces 30 times when you do the bounce test.lol.I hear ya on the body work,I got a few spots of rust on the cab to deal with.Nothing too major though.

If the first seat was black, but put in the second pic, I think it would be perfect.

True,I think that's why I shied away from them in the first place.

Thanks guys.Any more opinions?


Yeah...I don't even like the clear on 73-76's. And clears on 92-96's just say "I'm a douche, let's go clubbin' brah' to me.
