yes i used that kit and i am leaving the two separate power systems there but i wanted to know if i should relocate the 12v battery to use cheaper shorter cables or not also i am using self made panels if i fix the rust. i was just wanting your opinion on whether or not i should fix it. i need to replace the 30ft of 2/0 gauge cable for the 12v battery and i want to know if i should relocate the battery to use shorter cables or not.

i didn't use the kit but i found the same parts on evilbay for half the price.

i will take out the gauges and cut out and replace the wires in the dash one at a time to not get it mixed up and i will take out all the gauges except the ammeter and speedometer and will sell them on here as the senders dont work and i have mech gauges already on it and i can also get to the wiper motor to fix it too.

Goodyear stamped into the rims (not to be confused with the tries) is a good indicator that they are the not true Firestone RH-5° widow maker rims

There is a current thread here where there is a truck potentially getting parted out that has at least one lock ring rim, and possibly more: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-woods-id.html
