This one has the boss in between the reservoir holes tapped.

I won't buy NOS Brakes. It's been dry rotting on some back shelf somewhere. I got a new one. I got screwed with a NOS T3 one time. Complete shit!

I figured out my tail light issue. I thought I had a shorted electrical connection. Turns out that where the stem that holds the base of the light bulb attaches to the back side of the reflector housing lost electrical continuity. I cleaned it up and soldered it. Works awesome now. It was a tough problem to solve.

Thanks for the pic E! The lights are nice and bright. The turn signal/brake lights are even brighter. I guess that Ghetto Chrome tape did a good job.
Head lights work now. Had a bad ground. Common problem on this truck. God Bless my Dremmel!!! lol! Passenger side Parking light needs a new wire. Easy fix. Interior light needs new 12V bulbs and it should work. I broke the damn lens, but it was cloudy yellow anyway. Horn is next and that should just be a parts swap/ clean the ground......

The interior light has been fixed. Bad ground and gunked up contact surfaces. Dremel has a small brass brush that does wonders for these types of repairs. I need to rewire 1 parking light and fix the horn. Then all the electrical will be sorted.....
