Frogger2662 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hello everyone. Finally got back into Ford trucks again. Picked up a 1984 F150 about 6 months ago. Very good body. Decent interior. Wiring is in very bad condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Welcome! Nice truck. (I posted it by clicking the "Big Size" option in the pop-up menu as your file is larger than the 1 Mb max.) You'll have to start a thread about it in the main section. So, what part of Louisiana are you in? We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and I'd be happy to add you if I had a town.

Frogger2662 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 Welcome to the Flareside Owners Group! 😉 I am located in Baton Rouge. I waited for this guy to sell the truck for about a year. The wiring was really bad. What was still there was patched together and in really bad shape. Started over with an after market harness. Everything is complete and working except the a/ac and heater system. This wiring was completly missing when i got the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Started over with an after market harness. Well you'll probably be able to help out a lot of people because the question comes up fairly often about where to buy a new wiring harness for these trucks. The wiring in my '84 is pretty nice, but Bullnoses with the wiring all hacked up seem to be pretty common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftermarket gauges, one wire altenator and hei distributor. The biggest challange is getting the new wires routed where you want them. Overall it is a pretty good kit.

I just moved from New Orleans, worked occasionally in Baton Rouge over the years. The classic fords in good shape are a hot commodity down there. You got a nice one!
