Wow, it worked!

I started a project a few months ago. I have a piece of crap Plymouth Voyager that I am taking the engine out of for my good van. The junker happened to have electric locks. I took the motors and the switches, found a wiring diagram for the lock circtuit, and got to work installing them in my 1977 F-250. I started the project thinking I would finish quickly. I ended up getting side tracked and driving the truck without door panels for a few months. Well, today I finally put it back together. After about 100 feet of wire and some door panel modifications I have working electric locks in my truck. It's nice not to have to crawl over the seat to unlock the other door. I'll post pics tomorrow.
