Front turn signal relocation

bluebolt · Post by **bluebolt** » March 16, 2009, 2:24 pm

I have been considering relocating (hiding) the front turn signals on my 1966 F100 and using an earlier 61-64 panel without the cutouts. Any one done this or have pics? I did a search but no luck.

I did it on my '65. used trailier lights mounted on the radiator support and a '63 panel. It looks very clean and visually lowers the truck. there are several photos of my truck in the slick stock 3 photos. Kid did this on his truck too.

And here is a grill with them removed.

66 Grille and Turn signals will be available for sale in a few weeks.

I removed the upper valence on my 65 and put in one from a 63 and I put the turn signals in the headlights. I bought them at a Goodguys event but I am sure you can get them about anywhere............Kid

Found this F100 with a 1965 grille which has the look I am after although I will use the 1966 grille. Also I found similar turn signal headlights that don't have the amber on the bottom until they light up, makes them less noticeable.

I have thought about doing the same. I had a decent 61-64 valance but I had a fit of bad judgement and gave it away. Worse part was is that I think it got scrapped.

I"d love to do something like this with my 64, but I don't want to get rid of the 64 grille. Does anyone know of a repro grille that does not have the turn signal lights in it? Or has anyone modified theirs after taking the lamps out?? Any ideas would be much appreciated!

I had the same idea but was thinking of installing the signals behind the grill.

I got a set of Halogen headlights with replaceable bulbs off Ebay, you can drill them out to install the turn signals - $47.00. There are alot of choices on there too - I got 3 bars.

Not quite sure where this guy put them, but they are behind the grill for sure.

Truck was at the Grand National Roadster Show. (does it belong to anyone here?)

It was mine and I sold it.
Just way to much of a PITA to change the oil.
