Penn New Guy 1A

Penn new guy here. Never been on a forum before. Just starting to figure this out. My son have started our new project of a 1979 F250. I believe it is seating on F150 chassis. If I have questions, do I post them in Antique forum?

Welcome. Any questions will get more informed answers here because these old trucks is what we know and do. how is the truck titled? If it's on an F150 frame then it technically should be titled as an F150 , but you would need to see if the frame VIN matches the title VIN. As you get into the build and ask questions here you will get a better understanding of these trucks.
Mark.

Welcome to the show. Enjoy browsing around and learning about your new truck. You have already figured out how to make a thread and post so half the battle is already won.

Welcome to the Forum and congrats on the getting the truck. Great bunch of helpful folks here and no question is dumb so never hesitate to ask and this is the forum to ask all questions in. I will say it is worth your time to spend a couple hours scanning through the pinned sticky threads just to familiarize yourself with whats there as there are many diagrams and parts illustrations. It will help to learn to use the forum search function. Its Ok but I found often using Google to search my issue will bring me to this forum sometimes way more efficiently than finding same using the the forum search function.
Tell us more about your truck and plans for it.

Like the others have said, welcome to FTE. There are a lot of good, knowledgeable people here.
If you have any questions (and you will...lots of them!) just post them here and you'll get answers.
Everyone here is more than willing to help.
As for your truck, tell us more about it and you and your son's plans for it. And pictures, pictures, pictures! We love pictures (AKA "truck ****").

Truck info & Electrical project

Guys

Thank you for responding to my ad. The truck has a 2” body lift with a 3” suspension lift (I think). I will send pics. Plan for the truck is to get it fictional so my kid can drive. He is the owner of it. Major issue is the electrical. See attached pic and you will what I am up against.





Any ideas?

More Specific Question

What wires should be coming from the front of the truck to the back of truck for the tail light harness to connect to? Number of wires and the colors of the wires?

I think they should be:

4 Wires Total

Brown: Running Lights
Yellow w/ black strip: driver side stop & turn
Green: passenger side stop & turn
Black w/red strip: back up lights.

Thanks for the help.
