Some new lights (Roy is gonna go nuts over these!)

[fatherdoug]

Excellent, Roy! Looks like you have lights on your hood, too.

THOSE LOOK SOOOO NICE! How did you end up wiring them?
Another question slightly off topic, is the orange and white the factory colors for your truck? Or are those the colors of the airport service teams? (BTW, the rep gods are now telling me to wait too...)

thanks guys

Mike, all orange, but I think someone sometime added the white stripe. Been trying to find out myself by looking up airport service vehicles in Canada. On the roof there was a vinyl number 27 in white and a hole in the center of the roof for the antenna. You couldn't believe all the wiring for different lights it had, was all cut off so I spent a day pulling it all out. Lots a toggle switches drilled in and under the dash too. It's come a long way from then, wish I took a picture of the day I brought it home. 4 bald tires, spare tire on front grill, old silver front bumper, piece of old red cloth for a headliner, exhaust hanging off it, headlights cracked, but it was sound and relatively rust free and the motor checked out great!!! and besides the headliner, the interior was in great shape!!! All it needed was TLC, and a bit of OCD, LMAO.

(I wired the markers into the license plate wire.)

Was that Runway 27?

Roy, I give you a lot of crap about your truck, but it really is a very nice truck. I've had my eye on a white '86 F-250 4WD that belongs to the school District with 30,000 miles. It gets used about once a month. I'm just waiting for them to auction it off and get something newer.

Thanks Doug that's what I like so much about this site. It's like FB but better for me since there is the connection with our Ford trucks. FB got old for me and haven't been on in some time. I'm signed in everyday on FTF

That '86 sounds even better, wow, 30,000 miles, it's brand new. And like my truck, it would have been serviced properly, which makes all the difference!

hope you get your hands on it

Hey guys, just finished waxing the HD! Should have turned on the running lights! I'll get another pic tomorrow.

talk about a nice garage!!! that's always a big bonus to be able to park out of the weather.

if I had a garage like that Mike, I think OldOrange250 wouldn't be orange anymore!!

oh, and shiny truck : )

 

[460Trucker]

Thanks Roy! I appreciate the comment. It truly is a privilege to have the storage to keep it extra clean and out of the crazy New England weather. If my HD was parked outside here in NE, I would have to wash it almost every hour!
You're a carpenter, aren't you Roy? This garage is basically a new built barn. I'll make a road trip up to "America's Hat" this summer and help you build one just like it

yes I am, but............ everything for the horses Mike actually, it's all good, just waiting to make a carport (money thing for us) cost a lot to buy the 6 acres we're on, so we have to be smart about spending for the next while

Good looking stuff guys. I like it alot.

Justin - Thanks for the compliment!

Roy -6 acres! Wow that must be nice! You guys (as well as your horses) must love it. What kind of horses do you guys raise? I'm going to guess Mustangs for obvious reasons

That's quite a shine, Mike. Looks good.

Thanks, Doug! Maguiar's "Tech Wax 2.0" works very well.

Reminds me of the Rolling Stones' "Wild Horses" off the "Sticky Fingers" album, fantastic song!
