With the truck starting properly we decided to move on to another issue. We had previously stripped and loomed the tail light bed harness. We had installed new lights at that time as well. Unfortunately they never worked because the frame harness had a different style plug.

It seems there was a difference between the 84 frame harness plug and the 87 bed harness plug. I managed to source the later style plug from a friend, but we never got around to doing the install.

With a box full of United Pacific LED lights waiting to be put in place we knew the first step would be to get the existing system working. Chris cut the old harness to the correct length and spliced the later style plug in place.

Yes, I know the amber bulb is not correct.
