Cool find!
It's funny in all that he doesn't mention repainting the yellowed 'light pipes' matte white inside.

The work looks good.

I don't really care for the incandescent bulbs with blue filters, but to each his own.

Too much other stuff to mention.

If only Ford could have had "thru the gauge" lighting in our trucks. I was never impressed with the light coming in from the sides.
