    I just added 2 a month or so ago when I replaced the 5 that the lenses were yellowing and bases peeling. I did it all from above since I didn't feel like dropping the headliner (again). Drilled the holes - gotta be careful not to hit the headliner, because at least for me, drilling fiberglass likes to corkscrew the bit the second it breaks through. I used closed end nutserts like the factory ones and fished new wires to the closest existing light and Y'd in.

    That's what I was thinking is I would have to go thru the headliner to get to them. I will try doing it your way instead. Thanks for the ideas ! I'm gonna add a bunch of lights this winter when it cools down and makes it bearable to work on the rig outside :biggrin_25523:

    Enjoy the time left, and take in all you can, but let her live out the way she needs to. It's her choice, still. God Bless and best wishes to her, you and the family.

    Be thankful for the love she brought into the lives of you and your brothers. Carry it forward with Little Man. It’s good that she plans to complete a portion of the planned tour and on her terms. An amazing woman who is still writing an amazing legacy. Cherish the moments you have together.

    Cousin had an F Model with the small 8 and the extended range 6spd in it. I hated that engine and transmission, but that was a beautiful truck to drive. He bought the interior and a bunch of parts from a wrecked Hayes and made a pretty nice truck out of his.
