Cliff,

I got my Hellas from Amazon for about $40 each, with bulbs, and free shipping, but I can't for the life of me remember the dealer I bought it from???

Here is a link from danielsternlighting.com that is a pretty good "howto", especially for non electrical types like myself.

the head liner is great, will make a huge change. Are the mirrors manual remote?

 

[Ridgerunner]

I do have one question bout the headliner. I got the middle rear molding. There was no corners for it since I got it out of a 88 F150. Did you make the corners or what?

Yes manual mirrors. I am going to paint them flat black.

I assume that you will need to drill a hole in your doors and inside door panels to make them work. Did you get all the grommets and such too?

if your truck didn't have a headliner, you would have to get all the headliner trim from the donor truck. Mine had a headliner, but over all the years it separated from the cardboard backer and hung down I see yours has the visor with clips did you get the little screws? once the headliner is up, it's a no brainer to install them

Yes I got the screws and all the small bits. I will have to look for the corner pieces for a 85 model F150.

shouldn't have any problem to find. are you getting the map/dome light upgrade, I'm waiting for the clear lens to arrive for mine.(yes,I did order it from LMC, but it's just a lens cover and I've had no problems with the roof cab lights once I corrected the bulb socket to accept the factory 1/4 turn plug)

Why is the driver's side always trashed?

 

[Ridgerunner]

I don't know why that is unless you look at my pictures.

 

[fatherdoug]

. I think we should start driving on the left hand side.

 

[Ridgerunner]

I thought we did lol

 

[fatherdoug]

I thought we did lol

So THAT"S what happened.

Hey Roy Your update.

It has been a busy week.Monday I had a liver biopsy done which I wasn't able to do anything for 24 hours at least. Did I listen,uh NO!!!! LOL Tuesday we had to go back to the wreckers and exchange my mirrors which took a hour since we had to get them off 2 different F150. But we got them.

Mirrors. As you can tell I got a set of the nicer mirrors with the chrome on them.

I finished polishing my wheels yesterday.They look a lot better but will never look really great,But they are good enough for daily driver use.
