Don't break this...

It sucks to replace...and when the new one and the old one on the other side don't match, the Missus will make you replace the other one too...on the farm truck...

/——/ If it’s just the lens run it through the dishwasher on the top shelf. That should restore it to match the new one.

Now all you need is a newer truck.

What about the tail lights? You want people to think well of you as you drive away.

Good idea, but 35 years of sun fade has wrought a permanent change of hue.

Never. I'm going the other way. The one I'm working on now is a '74 white Uncle Jessie F100.

Not this one...currently rougher...but otherwise identical.

Stay away from those F-100s they are expensive. I have a 2003 F-150.

I've had a mess of them over the years. Recently the prices have gone out of sight. Used to be you could buy one any day of the week for $750-$1000.

Those days are gone. Couldn't find one with a 300 inline 6, which is my preference. This one was a 302.

Nothing at all wrong with a 2003...but it's actually outside my mechanical knowledge. This '89 is all the computers and relays I can handle and then some. I'm of the era of vacuum advance, carburetion, points and condensers, timing lights and adjustable valves.

IOW...the days before a computer told you what was wrong...you'd just put you ear to it and listen.
