Swapped out flasher switches today from the flarestart to the Roberk Co. Model 800 switch. Works much better than my flarestart.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Seats looking good....I'd go with the black vinyl on the front too. I think it'll look much better. And nice job on the cab lift!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
They're real 1954 Buick portholes (Ventiports). I added lights to them the glow dim when the parking or headlight circuit is on. The bright lights flash with the turn signals and 4 way flashers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I attempted to tighten the drain plug on the bottom of my differential using the 1/2 portion of my ratchet. It requires what looks to be 5/8 inch "male" type fitting. Hit two stores and couldn't find one. Funny how the smallest things can tie you up.

Yes it is for a foot controlled dimmer switch. The fuse panel is just above it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Got the cab off today and will start tomorrow on cleaning up the frame. Might have it done in time for Christmas....... but I wouldn't bet anyone on it.
