I recently bought a 1989 Ford F-350 flatbed stakeside. Not only were the lenses completely fogged, but they were loose and floppy. Ordered some new ones online. Started to disassemble it yesterday after work, but realized it was more complicated than you would assume🤪 So, of course, I TH-camd it. 😁 Found your video, which explained it all😊 Went ahead and got new bulbs for the turn signals, since they are so hard to get to. Had a new go at it today. First, removed the battery and washer fluid reservoir for easy access to those rear nuts. Everything came apart and went back together smoothly, thanks to the great tip about putting the blinkers I first! Great helpful video with bonus entertainment from all of your campground buddies. Appreciate your real-life casual, shade-tree mechanic style. You are NOT a fake You-Tuber!😂👍👍
Have a ‘91 F-150. Tried the light scrubber kit. Worked a tiny bit. Was lucky enough to break the turn signal on right side. Means I can replace them now. One this week, the other in two weeks. I always come on TH-cam before I do something. Learn what others have learned already. Thanks for doing this video.
Loved the video, loved the upbeat attitude with a side of humor snuck in periodically. Just picked up a 1991 Bronco from Mississippi which we call Eddie for Eddie Bauer, shes a resto project so this video helped give me the cliffnotes instead of sitting through a whole continuing education seminar!!! Hahaha
Great video, I appreciate it, I was wondering how the grill unlocked on my 89 F 350. On the foggy headlight I use Off or deep woods insect repellent. Spray it on and wipe it in. Then put a coat on and let it dry. The lights looks nice and it lasts a month or two. Thanks for the help 🎉
Great job! Love the truck! Takes a lot of intestinal fortitude to invest in an old truck to pull a TT! I would love to find one! I hate all the bells and whistles on new trucks! Thanks for sharing! 🤙
Thank you DLN! We were blessed to find a solid one to invest in. I truly love trying to bring it back to it's glory days! Hope to give Peppy a nice paint job someday. 👍🙂👍
Coming in after doing the first headlight on my F150....I did the same "rip the tab off" of the old headlight trick! lol. Trying to figure out if there's any reason I can't just replace it with a nut instead if that crazy tab when I put it back.
A 4mm socket works great. I believe the vertically oriented adjuster in the back is for up and down. The 2 adjustment screws on the top front of the light I am not sure about those. I need to aim the replacement headlights in my 1988 f150 but I would like to know the exact procedure first so I don't break any of the adjusters. Were you able to find a written procedure for the adjustment? Thanks.
Thank you Porkchop FTC! Love these old trucks! Your 350 sounds great!👍 We would like a crew cab f350 for sure but are very happy with "Peppy" for the moment. 👍
Thank you Ed! Seems great so far. I love the Hart impact that Wyatt got me the for fathers day so I thought may as well get the matching drill. We like both so far. 👍🙂👍
Doesn't look like the setup on my 1991 F-150. Headlight assembly is different. Battery is on the other side. Trim is different too. I'm looking for a video where the mechanic doesn't tear shit up trying to get it off. I already know how to do that just fine .
Thanks for the great video. Just replaced mine on a 1987 F250, and your instructions made the job go by pretty easily.
Love your work , thank you , I need to change mine out From an 1998. F- 250 😊😊
Love your style and humor... I wish you were a neighbor. You are the "Man"...
Thank David Kellum👍 We like to have fun for sure! Lol
Do you want he' s adress, maybe you could be his best bud...???

Good looking out about that blinker. Reason these videos are helpful.

I just love how everyone comes together to help out! :) :) looks great, look now you can see!! Lol
Absolutely Canadian Twig! The awesome RV community is one of our favorite parts of this life! 👍🙂👍
Nice Job !!! I like your good humor
I enjoyed your video! Im about to do the same thing on my 89 f150.
Good job and well done!
It's a good idea to save the chrome trim off of the old headlights, because the new headlights chrome will fade very soon.
Great point Nathaniel Clark. Unfortunately, as full time RVers we only have so much room for storing things.
Truck looks great! Aren't you glad I taught you everything you know? That's interesting about it being frosted all the way through.
I sure am. Also sorry for leaving your tools out in the rain and loosing them and such. I can feel your pain now. 😏

After seeing this, definitely want to replace my 1990 F250 headlights.
You won't regret it Ron Steurer! We can see just like it's a brand new truck! We also did the tail lights for around $30 dollars. 👍
Thanks for the video! Helped to remove lights from a 1990 Fleetwood Bounder RV (they use the same headlights)!!!
Thank you! So glad it helped!👍

Great video. Just wish you did a before and after of the light pattern in front of the truck so we can see how much improved it was.
Well done, looks beautiful.
Yeah baby South Carolina here
Thats funny I live in michigan my 89 f150 came from a Carolina as well
Too funny Nick Ripley! You gotta love those old trucks, especially from the south! They are definitely a lot easier to work on with out the rust. Lol
I get the blinker socket into my housing just fine, you have a big slot and two little slots.
Thank you for the tip Nathaniel Clark. 👍
Peppy got a face lift, looking good
Thank you Loving Lifes Journey. Did you see how straight that Ford emblem is!?

Where did you get the grille from
For a second I thought he was serious about not hammering the battery 😂😂
One reason we like our 1999 Dodge Roadtrek is that the old gasoline engine is easy to get it worked on.. very bling headlight
Very nice night shots..
Absolutely! Simple maintenance is definitely a benefit out on the road. 👍
Thank you. We're starting to learn the canon camera.
nice!
So I have a question: HOW do you adjust the headlights AFTER they are installed?
A 4mm socket works great. I believe the vertically oriented adjuster in the back is for up and down. The 2 adjustment screws on the top front of the light I am not sure about those. I need to aim the replacement headlights in my 1988 f150 but I would like to know the exact procedure first so I don't break any of the adjusters. Were you able to find a written procedure for the adjustment? Thanks.
My car was built in the north was barely any rust it’s a good truck just doesn’t run😂😂😂😂
nice truck i have an 87 f350 crewcab 6.9 idi and we pull a 20ft keystone hideout no problem
Thank you Porkchop FTC! Love these old trucks! Your 350 sounds great!👍 We would like a crew cab f350 for sure but are very happy with "Peppy" for the moment. 👍
@@CamperSizeLiving best of luck with it and love your videos. " BRICKNOSE STRONG"! 💪
Thank you so much. We'll keep y'all updated on the truck👍
Great job on the lights and the grill!! How’s the Hart drill working for you?
Thank you Ed! Seems great so far. I love the Hart impact that Wyatt got me the for fathers day so I thought may as well get the matching drill. We like both so far.
👍🙂👍
That radiator and transmission cooler were pretty clogged up, recommend spraying them off eh?
Good observation and great idea Travis. Thank you 👍
you're from MI aswell, also are you talking about Big Rapids MI? I just recently bought a 1990 F-150 Custom 2wd as a first truck
I got a new set for 50$ brand new in box with packing
Love the video, what bulbs are you using?
Do you know if these trucks have high and low beam? With mine when I turn the light on the high and low beam come on.
@@larrywolenskimechanical1951 yes they do

You are funny my guy
you should’ve sanded them down
You couldn't see, because food was blocking your sight
I must be the only one who noticed the motorhome beside you has no passanger mirror and duct tape in place of it, guess he never passes anyone LOL
Lovely post! I think you'd enjoy my videos too. Keep up the great work! 💜💖
