ok so I found a break in the iod line repaired it and now I have the radio working, found the roll pin that was missing from the ignition switch that pulls the lever to release the shifter so Im good on those.

now Its back to the problem of park lights which may be the black box on each fender i didnt get around to swapping those out with some extra's today and finding why the overhead lights stay on but im getting there.

the truck has been delivered to the paint shop to have everything lined up while im gone to the beach then all thats left is to find a black bed and study a wiring diagram. thanks for the help guys
