New pics of the 1st gen.

[2.9XLT]

Got a few more things done, and it's nice here today so I gave it a bath and got some new pics. I painted a nice gen 2 tailgate I got at the junkyard and put it on. Also decided to put my Marchal fogs on for a while. My JVC cd player messed up after 8 years so I put a new one in. And I put in a Sun super tach because all manuals should have a tach.

Thanks everybody, I'm going for the period correct look. I remember the '80s kinda.

They used them on '88-89 Lincoln LSCs, they're 16x7s.

Red to switched 12v at ignition switch, black to ground at the ground point on the dash by the steering column, green wire to negative coil wire underhood, and white to the dimmer wire for the radio.

i love what you've done with it. I think you should look into a visor for it. I think visors look good on trucks
