I found some photos of the overhead lights. I switches mine out to LED lights to prevent the heat from melting the housing with the old incandescent bulbs.

Good to know, thanks.

What is gold mine? Lol

I may be able to help you out with those overhead light sockets. A few years ago a guy was parting out an Excursion and I bought the entire overhead console as a backup for $20 or something ridiculously cheap. I have a spare pair of those sockets. You seem humble and a good guy. I'll just give them to you. PM me and we can arrange something.

I took these photos of that overhead console this morning.

I Just read in the newbie FAQ that you have to have 5 post and be a member for 10 days before you can. I have the post knocked out, this is my 10th day ha! Guess I'll pm you tomorrow lol

Yes they do. My good friend John Wood runs it here in Bastrop. He is a member here. Itsnotanova is his user name. Porsches all over. He caters to the racing crowd for body parts, engines, interiors, etc.

Hi James. Do you know which shops around us that may have the front dash vent louvres for an 2006 F350 in black? One of mine is broken. Also I would like to get a middle front jump seat (gray color leather) for the truck. Mine has the storage console like the Excursion. Looking for a new '06 grill if they have one.

I tried to PM you with my cell number, but it says you're not set up to receive PM.

Thanks.

John

I stopped by one of the dismantlers by the racetrack for some fox shocks and they would not take anything below what they was worth new. Don't let them try to take you for a ride.

Ill keep that in mind, thanks. I've learned some of them think they're the only one with parts. You should see how they treat classic Mercedes parts
