1978 F150 Custom
Just finished majority of the restoration on my 1978 F150 Custom, 400CID, 6.6L, & what a truck! I grew up around this truck, learned to drive in it, & inherited it from my dad a couple years ago. He was a 40-year long-haul trucker & this was his everyday driver. SO proud to have it restored! I think he would be proud!
Gotta have the speedometer & mileage counter rebuilt unfortunately, I think the soda blasting may have screwed with the gears, unless anyone has had issues with theirs abruptly stopping. all electrical & gears worked beforehand.
Took some Autumn photos!

Speedometer/Odo/Reverse Lights issues
Ok, so I'm having issues with the speedometer, odometer, temp gauge, & reverse lights not working, the gas gauge works fine. Whats the deal? This truck can't possible have gear issues bc it has worked all completely before, weird they all stop simultaneously except for the temp gear. I can't believe it just stopped bc of gears when the reverse lights & radio stopped at the same time too. Is it a disconnect/fuse/cable issue? Grounding? Please advise. I got a CB antenna hooked up to the rear as well, so maybe that's a cross issue? Feeling its some sort of cable issue not gears. Thank you in advance.

oops, i posted a tech question here. Gonna get my *** beat, I'm transferring this question to the maintenance category. Many apologies. Actually, I don't give a ****, I drive a F150 classic M f'er & literally paid my dues doing it. LOL #juniormemberissues
