Hmmm... very neat!

What about running the A/C on Max Cool, only?

Huck was a heck of a good purchase!

That is beautiful!!! Fire Over Rising Dunes

The original Hella supplied bulbs are going strong after several years. I believe it would be this one: https://www.amazon.com/HELLA-H4-Standard-Halogen-Bulb/dp/B00IKM61MQ/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515080718&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=Hella+6054+DOT

Welcome back, Jonathan! Your write-up is great... thanks for sharing with us!

So, I'm confident that he has them. In fact, he shows them on this page. But, if you click on Buy Them Now you'll get something that starts with: So, send him an email at consult@danielsternlighting.com. He is very easy to communicate with, and he knows his stuff. Hmmm? I feel compelled to share what I have found to be an improvement. While making upgrades to mine or my son's trucks, I attempt to get what I can for a moderate investment. A few years ago, I purchased Hella Vision Plus [190 X 132mm] from Amazon. They were ~$45 each, then, but now are ~$110/pair. These are DOT approved. https://www.amazon.com/HELLA-003427291-190x132mm-Conversion-Headlamp/dp/B0002M9QRE I used the LMC headlight relay @ ~$30. The performance is much better than original and I have no complaints with the pattern [low or high beam].

I do not know what it is for, but definitely cover the end. You might use a test light to see if it is "hot".

Lucas, Prince of darkness!

The engine is very stock with all the 1984 computer controlled feedback system intact. The transmission is the manual 4 speed OD and the rear gears are 3.55. The tire size is 235/75 X 15.

Gary, you wrote the rules of the game!

Lately, I have been driving my son's 1984 F150 with 4.9L engine. Last year, I did some work on it as it was getting ~13 mpg on my normal weekly work and weekend driving [very repeatable and a decent test bed]. The drive is some rural @ 45 mph [14 miles each day] mixed with small town driving @ 25-35 mph with numerous stop signs and traffic lights. The round trip is ~28-30 miles. Since the work, the mileage has averaged ~17 mpg. Friday, I drove to another town which was a 91.3 mile round trip. The drive consisted of 45 mph sections [~10 miles] and the rest was 55 mph. There were sections where the speed limit is 65, but I maintained 55 mph. The temperature was 31-50F and I had a friend with me who weighs ~240# [i really do not believe that to be a big factor]. 91.3 miles divided by 4.925 gallons = 18.53 mpg. At 55 mph, the tach was indicating 1650 RPMs. Saturday, I repeated the trip. But, this time, I drove @ 65 mph when legal. The distance driven @ 45 mph was the same. I was alone and took a side trip which consisted of getting off the described road and driving 3 miles @ 45 mph and then going uphill in 3rd gear @ 25-35 mph for a little over a mile. The side trip added about 10 miles. The temperature was 30-55F. 101.7 miles divided by 5.027 gallons = 20.23 mpg. At 65 mph, the engine is turning ~1950 RPMs.

The one on the right is quite good!

Nice photo, Gary!
