you can see the box is rusty. This shows you how badly my cab leaked. I wish I had taken it out of the truck when I bought it in 1977. It might be in better shape.... or I might have misplaced it.
yep, I have issues!
Just like the Grotesque have instructions the ford reflectorflare kits have instructions that say "FORD"

Grotesque? Darn autocorrect. So apparently my grandfather never used nor even opened the flare box since the instructions were still there. What does the Ford instructions look like?

So you are the one that's been hiding them all! I do have an instruction sheet but it is not Ford specific.

My dad was a carpenter going back to the early 60s. He used one till the day he died at 83 years old. He could unfold and fold those wooden rulers like most people do with a tape. We put one inside his suit pocket when they buried him.

I have some reflectors somewhere. They aren't the Ford ones though. A set would be neat to have. I might have to talk Kevin out of a set at Truckstock.
For my first Truckstock I needed a jack. The modern ones wouldn't lift my truck (most likely lack of operator strength). So I got the big guns out and have it in the truck at all times.
This lifts the truck with ease.

I have one. My favorite thing to do with it is to show people how much movement you get when something expands do to temperature or something like that. Open it all the way and lay it on the floor or table. Now put a mark 1/4" shorter and push the one end of the tape towards it. it will raise the center up about 6"
