Replace gauge lights with LEDs?
Can't find one of the entire cluster, but this gives an idea... The tach doesn't have and LED on it, so you can ignore it.- SlickGTP

It made mine brighter... Lost the ability to dim them, but doesn't bother me. I got drop in replacements from http://www.superbrightleds.com/- SlickGTP

Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc
I thought so... I was going to pass it up and then figured if I find I can't use it then I could always find someone around here that might. I'm figuring that out on the beds... by that standard, I should just fix the rust over the wheel wells I have, remove all the surface rust I have and... -

Scored a factory tilt column w/cruise on the turn signal... $20... I went to look at a bed for the truck and the guy just had it laying there. Think I'll be passing on the bed though. Every bed I look at has issues... :think: -
What have you done to your square lately??
Took the ol' girl out for a spin to go pick up the hydroboost system from Pops and tested the dual tank set up... no glitches... w00t!!! :waytogo: Thanks Pops!!! Also picked up a tilt column and a few other little things here and there... :) -

It's on the list of possible solutions. :) -
Blinkers/Hazzards stop working when headlights turned on...
Hmmm... My thought is if the LEDs are the ones that need to be put in a certain way. Unless they have the circuitry to make it where it doesn't matter. By their nature, LEDs only allow current in one direction. The other thought that I have is whether or not you have a bi-metal flasher...- SlickGTP

Opinions: Newer bed on older truck...
Yup yup... Only thing different on the tanks are the filler tubes depending on bed vintage and side... But, I have dual tanks now, so I'll have to figure some way of hooking the one up that doesn't have a fuel door. Not a biggie... :) -
Paint.
The trim under the rear window is easy... it's the corner pieces that hold it in place side to side that's the issue. you have to get a wrench up inside the b pillars to get the sheet metal nuts that hold them on and then you can slide the long piece off. Drove me nuts... wish I had had my... -
Opinions: Newer bed on older truck...
Not too worried about it... My original bed is a single fill, but I installed an aux tank and have the filler neck rigged to under the wheel well at the moment. I'll figure out something. @HR: yeah, I thought about that too. Also thought about relocating to the wheel well in the bed, but... -

Cool... Thanks for the interchange/fitment info guys. :) We'll see what happens Saturday when I go to look at one I found, but if it's anything like what I saw in the pictures, it'll be hard for me not to do the swap. Taking tools with me if we decide to do a swap right then and there. -
Opinions: Newer bed on older truck...
Cool... I was thinking along those lines. Just needed a little affirmation on the thought process. The existing bed I have a feeling will need at least $150-200 worth of work. So, if I can pick this other one up at a good price I'll probably jump on it. Thanks guys! :waytogo: -
Opinions: Newer bed on older truck...
Thinking about swapping over to an '86 bed on my '73... It would sure as hell fix my rust issues and make it a bit easier to fill the tank. My only hesitation is that even though my bed has a bunch of pitting from the rust and I'd have to patch over the wheel wells, it's a solid and straight... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Installed a new to me rear view mirror... Now I can actually see out the back of the truck instead of a haze of color between the black dots... :) This weekend I'll hopefully be picking up the Hydroboost system off of Pops and looking at a rust free bed to replace the one I've got. If it's... -

Hydroboost Setup
I'm out in the Katy area, but I've already told oneluckypops that I'd buy his system. I'd consider a trade on your system as well, but I'm pretty sure my vacuum booster, although is in good shape, is also as old as the truck itself. Let me know what you think. -

HRPC's trip to Pull A Part
Looked it up on the map and location seems familiar... I was thinking Shields when I asked. :) The two lots I know of down here in H-Town pale in comparison to what I remember that one to be from when I was younger.
