Looks like he's selling the 8.1l truck in the background too.

That’s a nice flatbed.

I probably missed it, why flatbed?

I debated to ditch the bed for flatbed or preferably a utility bed, but playing with numbers and looks like regular bed or flatbed are best if I stay SRW. Utility bed make 19.5” SRW wheels (yuck) or dually mandatory. Going dually will really open up availability on flat beds & utility beds to choose from.

Man... I worked on the wiring all day Saturday, dusk until dawn.  Long story short, I deleted half of the wiring got it all hooked up how I wanted it and no turn or brakes.  I used an old 3-2 wire converter I had laying around so I figured it was shot.  Went and got a new one, same results.  Input fine, no output.  I searched for an LED flasher to find out there isn't one for this model, its all in the computer.  I went and bought some incandescent taillights lights, no change.  I decided f-it, I'll just use the outermost running lights for turn signals.  I was about to take my third trip to every auto parts story in Canandaigua to go get some incandescent 2.5" round lights when it dawned on me that it has factory 4 and 7-wire trailer receptacles and they work on trailers with 2-wire lights just fine...  Plugged in the 4 wire pigtail and wired it up and wallah.  Doesn't even hyper-flash. 

Bonus, this allowed all factory wiring to remain in tact.  I would like to figure out a way to mount the factory lights under the bed to get rid of the "lamp out" light but they're super bulky.  Maybe they'll fit in the spare tire.
