Yep, it just floats down the road....

Ok found out why my brake lights and the backup lights weren't working. Both of the switches are bad. I ordered a new brake light switch, but I'm not finding a backup light switch that looks exactly the same. Here's what it looks like when it's broken haha. Does anyone have a spare laying around or know the best place to pick one up? Thanks!

Nope, they never fail to let me down. I've almost given up on all auto parts stores anymore. Plus I rarely drive into town. You think they might have them?

I usually just go to their website and you can check the store inventory. If they don't have it in stock, they can usually get it in faster than you can by ordering it online. I do that with Napa all the time.

I checked O'reillys and Napa. No luck.

Well they were the only place locally that could get a back up switch for my four on the floor. So maybe. Plus just for fun I found the door jamb switches at autozone for $3 each.

Such a rad beast! White looks so good on these rigs. How do you like the 3 on the tree?

Thanks! I like the three on the tree, Very cool to cruise around in, although it would be convenient to have an automatic.

shawno72 · 04-28-2012, 02:35 AM

Did you ever find the switches?

Well, I haven't been on here much at all lately but I have been working on the burb. I have everything working as it should including the overdrive! I'll try to post some more pics but this is as it sits now. I drive this beast 120 miles per day for work. It drives like a dream!

jbclassix · 08-13-2015, 10:43 PM

Back from the dead! Awesome to hear it's going so well!

Newtz67 · 08-13-2015, 11:19 PM

Yes sir! I've been busy! Bought a bar and a couple new toys!
