    srw to drw

    Are spacers needed to clear the tire from rubbing on the frame when converting a srw to a dually? I was thinking the rear axle will be narrower for a srw truck. I know a hub spacer for the front is needed to run the dually rim. Anyone know any of this for sure?

    This is making my brain hurt..

    I did look under the back.. I know there is some kind of mess under there. Looks like someone hacked off a bunch of wires to a trailer plug. I will sort this out soon also.. As i am looking for a hitch for the ole girl.. when i find one i will wire in properly for a plug.

    This one will be soon back to all original. I don't just remove the junk wire. I remove the wire that was tapped into and replace it with a wire of the same color and length. I use the factory hard wear at the ends. Then it's clean. Back in the factory clips and plugs. I think i have the...

    Running speaker wire to the rear single cab speakers

    If your going to the hassle of running new wire.. installing a good set up.. don't use normal wire for your speakers, Use speaker wire. Solder and heat shrink the connections also.. 50 feet of decent speaker wire cost me 12 bucks.

    So.. I have both back signals. I ran a jumper.. Nothing in the back turns on for a brake light. Does this mean time to rip the dash apart? I hope not. EDIT.... TO ADD TO THIS.... If i am reading the wire diagram right.. This white wire goes up into the steering column off of the brake switch?

    This is making my brain hurt..
