I'm using the stock bed just raising the floor up. only prob w/ a step side is shortening the beds and fenders.

1 wire gm only has 1 wire... lol. also delco alt. suck from the factory so you mite have jsut ben getting bad alt. or u un loosened you loose connection.

so any more issues? sounds like you have a loose wire some were. and more then likely its the wire from the alt to the light on the dash which in turn tells it to charge... just convert to a 1 wire gm and be done w/ it lol. i suspect maybe the main block of wires right behind the fuse box maybe?

also does the battery light work when you turn the key on?

thats badass, uhhh i don't think a stock hood will fit :D

LR speaker is green/white stripe and black/yellow stripe RR speaker is brown and black/yellow stripe do you not have factory rear speakers?

the projects still goin, i got the back half and 4 link done, motor trans and drive shaft in it to :D the waggy front end bolted right up and yes i had to have the header panel as the headlight buckets are different. not sure on wiring tho. i got mine complete from the u pull it for 40 bux :D as for pics, I'm trying to get it where i can roll it out side and get some good pics, also my sister stole the cord for my camera :mad:

sounds like you gota bad alternator or sumthing is causing a severe power drain.

that alternator sounds like it isnt putting out enough voltage. if any of mine don't put out over 13.5 i take em back.

do you not have a switch on them? i always put relays on fog lights.... have u taken the alternator and battery to be tested yet?

hmm i hope you put a gasket on there. pull pan back off and if it didnt break flush, use some vise grips and back it right out.

i HATE rust. :fool: the manufactorers for poorly designing wiper cowls on fords :headpop: sorry had to vent haha

kool thx for the info guys, i measuer wheel base it is a shortbed, so from what ive read, tehy didnt make short bed metric ton mjs, correct?

how do i tell that?is it stamped ont he rear end or does it have a tag?

any one know the factory wheel base measurements for long and short beds? i need to find out if my parts truck is a long bed or not, i got 113in from center of hub to center of hub for my 87 short bed. also how do i tell what options it had factory from the vin number(ie metric ton package)

best pinks was the fbody trans am vs. the turbod civic. the trans am beat him by 5 lengths w/ out 2nd gear but used his No2... still good race when the t/a blew right by him ;)

yup definatly a ground issue. either the gournd inside the plug is bad or from the plug to the body is.

if the pumpkin is cast STEEL u can weld to it, just let it cool naturally and don't cool it off(air/water)

my ranger has 4:10s and 31s and gas mileage sux, 75 I'm runnin 3 grand on the interstate.

lincolns are good starters just don't use flux core i hate that stuff! we have a fire power 110 welder and its pretty good also. i use a miller 200 220V at the house tho :D

pull the plugs to just incase any water did get in there itll dry out and squirt a lil oil in the spark plug holes so just in case it hopefully won't be siezed up.

maybe try hammering a torx socket that is just a hair bigger in there.

gota love advandced auto parts lifetime warranty on theres :D

ahem. snow=snow plows=salted roads=saltyslush=corrosion+time=rust so snow=rust.

i would still check the output of hte alternator. it should put out around 14V at idle.
