all lights intermitently dimming when in use
I have a 76 F100 with only 42,400 actual miles on it and when I drive it at night the headlights, instrument lights cab lights and I guess the tailights constantly go dim to bright as if some connection is loose. Can anyone guess what the problem might be?

dc,
This is a classic symptom of a bad voltage regulator or a poorly grounded voltage regulator. Cheap, simple fix!
Good Luck, have Fun,

Hey man, I appreciate that help yesterday. You were right on! I got a VR and installed it and she works like a champ. Thanks again.
