Re: Head Lights
Check your wiring, especially at the headlamp socket. If you have the original sockets, ~ fifty years of use and newly increased voltage may have overheated the wiring, OR it may have just finished off a worn headlamp. These trucks were notorious for "flashing" headlamps due to overheatin...

Re: **&%&^ Fuel Gauge

Note in Iceman's picture the paper insulator under the nuts - yes, only paper - that keeps the gauge studs from grounding out. Your gauge may be grounding itself out on through th...
