Long time no post. Not much going on over the winter with Roxanne. "Too cold" has been my usual excuse. I did get a replacement tail light mounted.
Tail light from tailight king .com. what a disaster! No licenselicete light so they included L E D aftermarket lights, that arrived unuseable; one cracked the other dead. Led me to believe a light with the license plate lens could be found so I returned the one light and brackets that were too small. Tail light King sent the same light back. I mean WTF?! No price adjustment either. Why I oughtta...
I stumbled on a rear bumper in a junkyard. It was welded onto the frame and I had no way of cutting those gnarley welds so I ended up trading a box of donuts and the yard guy pulled it for me. Cost of the bumper was $100.
Not so sure about the blue. I'm afraid if I paint it then she'll look silly all painted up on a funky truck. Then there is the license plate being partially obscured. I've decided to wait until I get a ticket to solve that one.
Finally, I got the 6 volt tach installed; hose clamped to the steering column. It took weeks to have manufactured and delivered, and I let it languish in its box for weeks more. Finally I installed it into my 1950 Dodge B2B 1/2 ton pickup. This is the Westach from Westberg MFG INC - https://westach.com
