Lap Belts & turn signals - check!
 

Finaly got around to installing turn signals, and lap belts. I could have saved myself several hours of wasted time if I had only remembered that I had LEDs in the back, and done a search on them. If I had I would have known that LEDs will not work with a regular flasher, as they operate by the heating and cooling of a piece of metal contained within them (this was clearly stated in the old thread I found right here on FTE). Oh well live and learn. OK to be consistent I changed out my front lites with direct replacement LEDs, got a LED flasher and wow, they worked, I even have emergency flashers. I also installed a set of lap belts bolted to/thru the cab floor useing the supplied hardware, Its probably suficient, but I will probably beef it up some more when I clean and paint the bottom of the cab, just for piece of mind.

Lookin good Jim, same switch set up as mine, works good but have become a bit of a spoiled old fart, I often forget to turn the darn thing off after turning a corner. Get pretty use to the auto off feature on my regular driving truck:-missingt

Nice job Jim! Even though those turn signal units aren't necessairly factory, for some reason they just look right at home in these trucks.

i agree with the turn signals looking at home . same aftermarket unit my 53 has / had when i got it . got two sets of factory ones now from different old rust buckets that gave up parts for it .

Looks good... Hope your enjoying the ol' girl

Very nice ! Both of those items are on my ever growing project list. Looks great !

Lookin' good man!! :-X22

Two more things scratched off the list huh Jimmy! Lookin' sharp my man!
