It could just be that it's a "hacked 89".

Next up is wiring the truck.

Aren't you glad there's only like 10 wires on the whole thing. My 86 is so elementary that it would almost be tempting to make a harness from scratch...... just to say I did it.

Wiring continues, within the final stretch
Part of the discard pile
Passenger side with breakout box for fusible links
Drivers side with coil for glowplugs and relay row for accessories
I made a custom mount for an in dash switch panel and wired it up

The radio was previously mounted at an angle in the cubby. The truck had a pretty decent sound system. I don't listen to the radio when driving alone usually. Enjoy the peace and listening to the vehicle. Same for the caddy and the bronco neither have working radios. Each of them I've said to myself if I want one at some point I'll do it, hasn't reached that point. I do like listening to the radio while working in the garage.
This isn't to say I didnt like listening to music while driving previously, but since switching over to driving no vehicle newer than 1989 this year, I've enjoyed listening to the vehicle and haven't missed it.

Also, I'll take that organized in dash control of the truck in one place any day over the radio, which is why I made it.

Dude!, Your gonna have to change your handle to "sleek89" or "organized 89" or anything other than "hacked" that all looks great under the hood.

Nice. You better put in a good security system. Then again if someone got in that they wouldn't know where to begin.

Welded the light bar mounts so that it’s tucked under the grill.

And continuing wiring

I like those mounts. They're nice and clean. Most of the installs that I've seen have been half a**ed at best. I've even seen one or two cars with the bar hanging from wires in front of the grille. As long as you're not one of those A-holes who think that they have to drive around town with them on just because it's night time (which I've also seen WAAAY too many times), then I say way to go!

Some guys have them on during the day and they still hurt my eyes.As long as you're not one of those A-holes who think that they have to drive around town with them on just because it's night time (which I've also seen WAAAY too many times), then I say way to go!

I haven't seen that, but I'm sure that you're right. I know that newer cars, trucks, semis, etc. with the EXTREMELY bright lights do blind me during the daytime too.

I've said it before, but I leave the key in my truck and the door unlocked (I really can't stand unlocking doors) but my theory is that if they can figure out how to crank it up and make it move, they deserve a few laps around the parking lot. They certainly aren't going to descreetly steal it, and there's nothing of any value in my truck.
