Oh oh, if sequentials is what you want then get this kit:

IIRC people installing the kit in older non-Mustang vehicles use the flasher he makes for the classic Mustangs, but best call the guy and ask which flasher he'd recommend.

Here's how you wire it up with just two lamps per side - you simply leave two of the module's lights not connected to anything and tape them off:

You won't have to install the resistors because your truck does not have an LCM/BCM. Obviously since you have a truck it will be best to install the module in the cab somewhere, and therefore you'll have to run two brake/turn wires per side (total of four) from the module back to the bed, but it's not a big deal.

Well folks she's 95 percent there. Beside some minor things and finishing up paint. First drive on the road was better than I ever expected. Somehow I did a ground up restoration and full drive train swap in 7 months while working and going to school full time.definitely couldnt have done it with out all the help from my best boy jon. Now were going to drive the balls of this thing!!

Cool! Now get those remaining 5% (which is tires, right, cause paint is overrated LOL) done! And don't forget about the other (hidden) 5% of little BS issues that are pretty much inevitable in a project this big.

I've been driving the truck. It only builds 5 lbs of boost even though I blocked the waste gate. The first day I drove it it had a ton of power. Now its pretty mediocre. On the first day it also made a ting ting ting sound through the tail pipe and that noise is gone. I wonder if my turbo bit the dust.

That may have taken a lot of work, time, and probably money, but it's a vehicle you can be sure is one of a kind. Not a cookie cutter stamped plastic/paper thin steel truck off of any car lot but one you put yourself into. That is so AWESOME!

The detail work is incredible as well. Just amazing.
