That's one nice truck!!! I'd really like to put some lights in my bumper like you did. What lights did you use and how did you mount them?

These are the lights I used. I use them as fog lights, and they work pretty great. Much brighter than my 4200k bulbs. But I bolted them to a piece of flat metal inside the bumper, too tall to fit through the hole and they just sucked to each other. Tight as could be.

Looks good man. I think they make kits for the corners and arches that aren't all that expensive. That's what the salt does to these old trucks

Hey y'all, I'm new. I just got this a week or so ago. It needs a lot of small stuff, but it runs strong.












I'm still working on my to-do list. I spent my first week just cruising around and cleaning up the interior.

That's a good place to start. I love our trucks in white. But I'll let you in on a secret; that tailgate panel is $450 from LMC Truck and is only going up. Take that as you wish. Lol

I'll be going to the junk yard to get a lot of parts, I'm not paying $450 for a panel, for a truck I got for $2000 lol

That small trim below the grill has some damage, and the grille too, I think, I want to fix that stuff too.

If the junkyard doesn't have a decent one, then I'll just take it off, fill the holes, and paint it, maybe with a big FORD stencil. I considered making it say "Prius Repellent" and paint arrows to my pipes, too. Or "My Carbon Footprint is Bigger Than Yours"

First up will be tires and brakes, and the weird idle issue.
