Well I'll take it a bit farther off the tracks: AK, do you know if the NAPA part has the same flash rate as factory? Every one I've tried so far is like 1.2Hz or more instead of just one flash per sec.

Sorry Ohio but I do not. I have seen it flash and it seems about the speed of my truck, but couldn't give you a definite on if it's identical. To me, it is close enough and I have all my stuff ready to go it. I was waiting for the 3156's but arrived today, so that is next. I have switchbacks for the front, so we'll see how those work. They did great in my Mustang, so........we'll see.

No problem, AK. I'm living with this EP27 for now. Which bulbs are you putting in the front? The bulbs are highly visible in the L marker housings, but if they're not ugly to look at, I might consider a set.

Man that is gorgeous!

This was my Dad's old 66. It was a pretty early built truck too..... one of the few that had this top on it. If you look above the windshield, the top is not rounded like most of them..... rather, it slants backward.

The old F150 is getting taken on a 300 mile trip today.... my FIL is not doing well.... sold his house last week, and the Wife is taking it down to help pack/move. Bringing back some furniture, and stuff.

I drove it to work a couple days ago.... and for a truck, that son-of-a-gun rides really well. I sure do miss it being my DD. Runs like a champ still....

While she's gone, I've got to get a bunch-o-maintenance done on the Escape and Toyota. Gotta change the oil and trans fluid in both of them. I can't believe it's already been 20K on the Yota and 25K on the Escape since I changed them. I really need to change the diff fluid on the F150 again before winter..... it's probably got 35K on it. How long do you guys go on diff fluid?

Thought crosses my mind often while traveling high and byways of ducebag drivers. Mannn, I gotta get out of here lol.
Hahaha I cant even take a vacation in a city setting without feeling crowded. I generally spend 3-4 days a week in the woods for work and honestly enjoy it 90% of the time. The rain here lately has brought out a ridiculous amount of mosquitoes, the likes of which I havent seen since the flood, but during the fall and winter its honestly my favorite thing in the world.

Brew, that thing is a beauty! I will have one some day. My wife is even encouraging it. Lol

White, I have actually never seen a top like that. Pretty interesting.

This one has my wife on board! Too bad it's not the right time

It's not an early bronco but still beautiful nonetheless. I think that's the blue I'm putting on the Highboy
