Re: GRIZZ’s English 2001 S10 Extra Cab 4.3 V6 Truck

When you flip the switch and the gauges die, does it record mileage as you drive?

I did not want to drive into the street, in case the truck died 10 yards down the road. I live rurally and people drive crazy down here.

And it is freezing here at the moment, I did not want to push it about if it died.

To answer your question, the mile-0-meter turns off too, so one assumes it does not record.

Re: GRIZZ’s English 2001 S10 Extra Cab 4.3 V6 Truck

So back to the white truck posted earlier.

It seems to be an American spec model Extreme.

Side repeaters on mine, are not on it.

It is also the donor of the clear lenses I have wanted from day one.

And yes, clear side repeaters may be a problem, it’s a European thing and the conversion kits are made for the American market.

So the solution will be to find a set of clear side repeaters from something European that will fit the hole.

Challenge? Yes, possibly.


.

I have bought the clear indicator lenses off the owner who is going with smoked front lights and lenses.

Ł25.00 included postage which sounded like a sweet deal to me vs finding and importing a set from the USA, getting posted tomorrow so hopefully fitted by next weekend.

The one has a small scratch that I will tackle with a bit of rubbing compound to clear off.





Pretty chuffed today.

Needs clear side repeaters not orange though.

[quote author="@zeberdee" source="/post/2652217/thread" timestamp="1610290715"]Hard to tell from your pics , but the side repeaters look like they could be ford ?
MK3 Escort , MK4 Transit kind of era ??

Spot on.


I Think.....


30mm base



Hole drilled is about 20mm to maybe 22mm to let fitting through.




I th9nk it is very muchm80’s Ford.

Need to find a pair of replacements.

Ideally oval items.
