    Ford Trash Talk Thread lol

    On the topic of frames breaking, I sent my Dad to buy a single owner 132k mile old guy owned 1998 ranger as a daily, sounds great, right? Well he went out, did as I asked, and brought it over. Looked under it briefly for leaks and rust, seeing none, then started detailing the interior. Got...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finally got around to the final piece of the detailing puzzle. 30+years of Montana dirt roads washed off. No hose used, just dollar store decreaser and several hours of my time lol.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    That's too bad... I kinda like the utility of mine, but they could be pretty easily replaced by the ones that go in stake pockets.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    That's hilarious like every square around here has em (I'm in spokane) My truck is a work truck and has been it whole life, so it has always made sense to me that they're on there.

    Hans polished with some rags and turtle wax brand polishing compound. Super happy with the turnout, looks the best I can remember it ever looking. (The smudge is just wax thst hadn't been buffed)

    Pumping gas is a pain!

    My 78 c20 with the saddle tanks does the same thing. I'll have to check the hoses too.

    The wisest way to modernize a C20

    I think you probably could use magnets to hold it up if it doesn't get as much use as mine lol. Mine has all my tools and a rifle pouch. The cab is double walled, so if you drill into it, it's not going to go all the way through. It kinda hurt my heart to drill on it, but in the end it was...

    The wisest way to modernize a C20

    Not sure it's considered modern, but I installed a hanging tool pouch/organizer behind the seat, and have drawers under the seat for tool and misc. stuff that I figure may be needed while out driving. Storage is for sure a priority for me in a single cab, so I try as many smart solutions as...

    Cup Holder Options

    Build mine from scratch, fits the transmission hump well. It's been cold or snowy since I built it, so the truck hasn't moved yet, but I like it.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Built a center console with cup holders. Didn't like the look of other aftermarket ones, so I made my own. Should match that carpet once I finally buck up and buy some lol. Pretty happy with it, single cabs need all the useful storage they can get.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Fired the c20 up today. It's been sitting 0 degree Temps for several weeks, and I figured it deserved a nice long idle after a rough cold start. Sat back in the soft bench, tuned into the local rock station that still exists on the am band, and enjoyed the rumble of a healthy V8, along with the...

    Cargo and Dome not working

    Okay so bad news. Hooked it up, fresh fuse, nothing. Even with the headlight switch on the dash. No clock, cargo, dome, or courtesy. Any other ideas?

    Cargo and Dome not working

    Thank you guys, I really appreciate it. I'll head out there and hook it up. I've got a lot to learn electrically wise, obviously.

    Cargo and Dome not working

    Okay, after rolling around under the dash for a while, I am 90% sure it's the orange wires causing nothing to receive power, probably disconnected by the po for battery drain from the passenger switch. Problem is, I don't really know what order to plug then in at, so I've got a picture of how I...

    Cargo and Dome not working

    That makes sense, I'll definetly try that on the passenger side to see if it helps a bit. The drivers side seemed fine when I pulled it out, but the passengers is sticky.

    Cargo and Dome not working

    You are on to something there I think. That was initially unplugged from itself under the dash, and I couldn't find anywhere for it to connect other than that, so I will definetly hook it up right. The clock has never worked either, so it could be as simple as that. Thank you.

    Cargo and Dome not working

    Courtesy lamp is also inop, but I didn't even realize I had one when I ordered the bulbs, so there is a very good chance it has a dead bulb amoung other things. I'll check the connections on the box and see what happens.

    Cargo and Dome not working

    Okay, I'll check the fuse first, then follow up with your other suggestions. Thank you.

    Cargo and Dome not working

    It appears they share a fuse, with the dome being grounded to the door switches.

    Cargo and Dome not working

    The cargo and dome lights haven't worked in the C20 since it's been parked in the garage, so I ordered new bulbs for them from LMC, and installed them hoping for the best, but no joy. Courtesy fuse looks good as its a glass fuse and it'd be easy to see. I've checked all the connections and can't...
