(until the engine is warm you are constantly playing with the choke to make it run right), much more noisy than electric and requires basic gas engine maintenance like changing oil, spark plugs, etc.

No fuel injection??? WTF?

[QUOTE=SavageNFS;14186142]I remember the day I removed the last booster seat out of the truck...what a great day and a sad day at the same time!

I remember taking out the car seat, followed a few years later with removing the booster. At the time, it was a nice feeling. Now, my "Baby" has her own car (high school junior) and my son graduated Texas A&M last may. It's over way too soon.

LIES LIES LIES
Obviously, you can't trust those fleet guys. Not only do they try to give away other people's stuff, they go to fabric stores and then try to blame their wives. I think today, it is definitely ROY's fault. ROR


You guys have a great evening and a great weekend with whatever adventures you have planned or unplanned. I'll be here boiling oil and making more of the product most of us on this forum can't use.

Tonight's project.


I think the motto here is to measure 30 times, and drill once.

I have had cab lights in the cupboard here for 4yrs........I can't do it!

720Deere 03-21-2014 07:19 PM

Piece of cake, Trent! Actually the motto should be, drop the $75 up front and get them factory installed!

Blue tape the roof to help with scratches...

Good luck with your project Trent. I'm sure it will go well for you. I used to have "project" vehicles. It seemed like each time I would get one like I wanted it, it was time to sell and start over - whether it was bikes, trucks or cars. Are you going to keep yours when you finish, or get a new project?

Definitely a good idea. I used a 3" wide blue painters tape when I did lights for a friend. It protects the paint as well as provides an easy surface to accurately mark out the drill points.

Sounds about right. I would be too chicken to do it and I don't think I could trust anyone else to do it so that takes me back to doing it myself.
I would have refused my truck if the order was messed up and I didn't get cab lights.

Measure 15 times, take a break and think it over and measure the last 15 times to make sure everything is good. That should do it.

That item WAS on my order form, but then it happened to match these fleet special trucks and the ONLY thing this truck (and the 20 others sitting beside it) was missing was cab clearance lights. Everything else was exactly as I would have ordered. I got a great deal on my truck because they were fleet orders. So I decided I was going to do without the factory installed cab lights.

... then it's taken me about 3 years to finally get the guts to drill into my roof. Which is strange because at work I drill holes in truck roofs all the time to install radio antennas. I guess I got pretty comfortable drilling into brand new F-550s so I think I'm gonna try doing mine now.

EO2SeaBee 03-21-2014 07:35 PM

I think I would pay someone whom I trusted, to do it for me while I hid. I don't like drilling into perfect sheet metal. I prefer bolt-on type stuff. Yes - I'm chicken! It does look like a cool project though.

Hell with it! Drink a 5th of Jack, Bust out the Dewalt, Pass Out, Tell everyone it happened!:-jammin

And if it fails, cut the roof completely off and have a rare convertible SuperDuty.
