That looks pretty nice, I would notice that if I saw it driving down the road.

I did the starter today and it's back to normal as far as starting.



Napa had the starter in Seattle. 90.00 +\-.



So I parked it outside while I am building a truck bed trailer and when I wrap up around 10:00 pm, I go to try the lights and they don't come on! I have tail lights, but no head lights. I check power to the light switch, it's fine. Out going power is nil. I replace the switch with a spare and lights come on. Then they ground out. I fix the ground and the lights come one again. Then they go out- again. I recheck the circuit and double check the grounds and nothing. Then I remember the last time this happened in another truck and check the dimmer switch... Incoming power, but no outgoing power. I swap the dimmer and lights are up an running again.

Here's a close up of the bad switch:





While I was at it I checked all the bulbs in the turn signal lamps and the headlight connections. The rubber gaskets looked great and the wires looked great, too.





I thought this pile of dust on the lower, inside portion of the headlight beauty ring was a bit weird.



So now I can drive her to work!
