got rid of all the real wood trim that was put on back in 2000. And painted my worn out hub caps. Turned out pretty well and looks a ton better than the faded look.
Threw on some OEM 5 star wheels to see if I want to keep them and swap my KO2’s over. Just kind of tired of black wheels.

Made the locker switch light up with the dash lights.
Find pins that will fit. Luckily the washer switch I use for my garage door opener had a few unused pins in it and they fit in the locker switch's connector.
Carefully pry up the keeper in the connector
insert pins from wherever you found some:
and push keeper back into place
Okay, only one more pic. I spliced my wires into the lighter's light bulb wires because it's connected to the dimmer switch. I believe the pins to be 2 and 3, but for sure it was the ones in between the two that control the locker itself. Now when the dash lights are on I can see:
Outside of the rear bumper the rest of the truck is surprisingly clean. I'll get some pictures this weekend when working on the rear bumper, it's nothing compared to the other PA trucks I looked at last year while shopping.
Gave it a quick wash today and put it to work towing my 81 Scirocco. This pic was taken at a friend's body shop who is going to take care of the rocker rust soon.
Hey, it's dark in that corner! Really it's a vaguely usable bling mod but after doing the wiring without an e-locker computer and getting the light in the cluster to work I'd run out of e-locker related things to mess with. The switch is ready to go but for the missing wiring, this one was easy-peasy.
