brake light switch is bad and the flashers were both bad. multifunction switch was fine.
I have turn signals now but no brake lights. Both tail lights are at least a little broken, it needs the in-tailgate plus side marker setup like the dakota got or beefy tail light guards and a dovetail.
I think it's good to have a door slammer with glass and heat that can hit the street. ish.
so:
- trans temp gauge, deep pan. already have.
- front axle forward ~3/4-1". whatever the frame side track bar mount will allow for. Aside from swaybar delete I shouldn't need to do anything as long as the driveshaft has enough slip, and I'd bet it does.
- bob the back of the frame behind the spring hangers and get rid of the monster hitch plow plate thing.
- fix HVAC blower and temp controls, maybe fix AC if it doesn't need much. have all the spares I could need.
- AC condensor as addl trans cooler?
- weld rear
- I'd rather lock than weld the front for steering, handling, streetability. I'll break the stock shafts if it's not left open. Maybe swap the built Ford axle from the Dakota? Gear the truck to 5.13? Probably easier and cheaper than CAD delete plus set of shafts.
- mild boatside, replace rockers and floors, solid mount cab
- fuel cell in the bad, flat belly.
whenever I get around to it.
