How about "colorless"?

Front Opposing Rear Discrepancy

I will guess the change to amber was law driven. The turn signals must be amber, so amber bulbs will need to be used inside the clear lenses. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=E0TZ-13200-A&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=turn+signal+lenses+Ford+F150+NOS+1981&LH_TitleDesc=0

Thanks for the correction!

Well spotted, Cory! These are not OEM, but the Flareside owner might be interested as they are missing on his truck: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-1980-1981-To-1986-Ford-Truck-Bronco-Bumper-Guard-No-Impact-Strip-Full-Size/223509230302?hash=item340a3032de:g:HsYAAOSwDvZc03TD OEM - used: https://www.ebay.com/itm/80-96-FORD-BRONCO-F150-250-TRUCK-CHROME-BUMPER-GUARDS-BUMPERETTES-PAIR/254256793433?hash=item3b32e2c759:g:T-8AAOSwzBJc-oGw

You could pull the coil wire and allow the starter motor to spin a bit. Let it cool and do it again. Then replace the coil wire and fire it up, and idle a bit. Listen well for any unusual sounds.

Welcome!

Yes, just let it rev!

Hmmmm… this thread has just gone full circle [see 1st post]: As I drove to work, this morning, I asked myself the question listed in the subject line, above. The answer is: it is so pleasing to feel the very flat torque characteristics, every time you go through the gears. Quiet and unobtrusive.

I like the earlier grill. As always, your truck looks great!

Wow. I am out of step... Gary has referred to his engine as a stroker. Thanks and have a good day. The link is still enjoyable to watch!
