jaysm35a2 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Free to a good home, I pulled the light assembly off the U model and put on the correct tail lights.They are TruckLight lights and all. You can see where I used to have them mounted. Id ship from CO but not sure how much and id have to buy a box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 hay jay i got two questions for ya. i think i see some on the back of your u model cab but there are two reflector lights on each side of the back of the cab. do you know if they are original because on my u model i see there was some there. also do you have any pictures of what the correct tail lights for the u model are that you put on yours? because mine dont have any tail lights. thanks, vinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysm35a2 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Vinny, I think the reflectors are original and correct like the ones on B models. I put on 2 single , 3 way tail lights.Might not be spot on factory. Also by taking tyhe light assembly off I exposed the air tank on the back of the tractor. I sanded and painted that to match the truck. Also the tail lights I got bolted right in the factory holes. Heres a pic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 thanks jay, we are going to put a pintle hook set up on mine so i'll have to find some of them lights and reflectors. thanks again, vinny also why does yours have an air tank on the back is that for brakes or somthin cause my tanks are up on the drivers side behind the fuel tank.

jaysm35a2 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 The lights are easy to get. Its a kit , Very easy to put together. When I go out to the garage I will get the name and all and il PM them to you. Reflectors are just normal ones from NAPA pretty much. If you need any pics il be happy to get some. Id really like a pintle hook on the back of mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaysm35a2 Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Sounds good, gives me a reason to crank it and move it from the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxidyne237 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Is that your full flo filter mounted behind the cab? If you wouldnt mind posting a pic of it and the mounting bracket. My brother has a 67 R607 and the engine mounted full flo bracket has always been a problem. It has been welded and fixed so many times that we are thinking about mounting the filter on the frame. I just want to do it so it looks factory. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Sounds good, gives me a reason to crank it and move it from the garage.your lucky jay,you can drive yours, mine is all put away with the batteries out. all i can do is look at mine.

jaysm35a2 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 Yeah , I got lucky with this set and the set on the B 61. Just kinda fell in my lap at $50 a tire. The B 61 tires were already on the rim , the U models I had to change myself.Im anal about being correct But the square lights are way more correct than the light assembly it had on it.Thanks for the kind words guys, im not done. It always gives me somethign to tinker on. The marker lights are my next job. Il put in a order with Barry when I can for 5 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 i need the signal lights for mine and i want the factory ones that are round. i think since my truck was a yard truck at one time they broke the original ones and put different ones in and just loaded them with caulk. i also need them reflecters and tail lights but i know where i can get them.
