Re: Palf's 1970 Custom/10
Some more tinkering over the weekend. My backup lights were not functional because of multiple reasons. Rear sockets were corroded all to heck and the part that goes into the 3-speed was all messed up. Since I did not want to tear into the tranny to fix that piece, I decided to do like I did on my old 64 and put in a manual toggle
First thing I did was removed the corroded up bulb sockets from the housing, then paint in in chrome paint. I had some round LED's that fit perfectly into the hole. Wired up grounds for the LEDs. Then where the stock harness wire runs inside the cab at the firewall to the I guess neutral safety switch, I hooked it to a lighted toggle. Don't worry the hole was already in the dash for the switch to change between the in cab and bed fuel tanks. At least the hole is covered now. The toggle draws power from switch ignition connection. If I accidentally leave them on, they go out when I turn off the key. They are WAY brighter than the stock ones.
