Thanks all...had a lot of help from the board with some badly needed pictures. I had a lot of background knowledge as far as assembly, but i didn't take most of this one apart so that still presents a challenge when it comes to getting the details right. Chris, NYGTO, Ron Cozzo and Tempest1964 have been priceless with their help with photos. Chief.... I like my "FORD" sign.... don't want to bite the hand that feeds me if ya know what i mean.
There's a good chance i worked on your truck at one point. I still love the old Pontiacs the most though.
