I recently spent some time adding lights to the old truck, so I could actually see where I was going. I'm still missing a headlight, but I have the hardware to fix that. I added LED flood lights as fog lights and backup lights with my Dad the other day. The original backup lights are entirely useless. I didn't drive at night because I couldn't see to back out of spots and driveways. The lights are 1,320 lumens each, which is plenty bright. I bolted them to existing holes in the front and rear bumpers and put them on their own switches, with fuses. I can see again.
The oil line for the oil pressure gauge melted when I had an unfused wire burn up, and it was pouring oil into the cab. I capped it off, but that cap failed. I had the extra money so I bought a new copper line for it, with hardware. I installed that, bled the line, and now have a working oil pressure gauge and stopped a bad oil leak. Baby steps, but it is coming together.
