I have a bunch of LED's but for some things, they are just not bright enough, and I am designing this light to be movable and on a long enough adjustable arm to be pointed anywhere in my Van. I still have to recess the lights and make the frame to hold them in. It will be sanded, stained and polyurethaned, eventually. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 48 Likes: 2 newbie | newbie Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 48 Likes: 2 | Went to the only salvage yard in Plano, Texas. Muddy, cold and I was escorted on my entire patrol by a small pitbull (he was kinda cool, just followed me around the whole time). Anyway, a big nada; lots of Chevys and Fords, very few Dodges and no Dodge mids. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,463 Likes: 12 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,463 Likes: 12 | Yep, the Dodges are still on the road... ;0)

I just found an 82' tilt column with pulse wipers, was the pulse just a plug in for you? Yep, a box that plugs in between the column harness and chassis harness.

I just found an 82' tilt column with pulse wipers, was the pulse just a plug in for you? Yep, a box that plugs in between the column harness and chassis harness. So the column came with the box? I thought I had a column, was going to drive there tomorrow and now they say they don't have it. I posted in the wanted section. I am still a newbie this isn't hijacking a thread is it?

Nice day, just a bit chilly(35-40). Happier than a pig in sh*t! Nothing else as far as maintenance or repairs to do until spring.I hope! Just expect to go on some short hops (50-125 miles) out to Long Island during the winter..but that's all.
