Synopsis,
well I got it all together the right way and I have brake lights and brakes I just replaced the rear tail light lenses and found it needed a little customizing, not rigged, but they didn't fit perfectly now they do and they work.
I am having an issue with the turn signals working then not working then after a complete warm-up working again. kinda baffled the bulb works but.........it never works at an immediate start-up I was thinking flasher unit shorting but it seems to be the opposite of a short.
does anyone have any advice on turn signals? working intermittently I have a 4th of July parade coming up and I sure would like to do this MUTT proud and our Country I know I will be the only Military vehicle in it n this small town and they do it up Patriotically right. having flashers would be great Dave

I replied to this on your other thread but here is a copy from there.

Have you check all the grounds on the light housings, inside the lights and on the flasher control on the floor? My bet is if you take them all off and clean every one and reinstall with just a tiny bit of dielectric grease things will work much better. That goes for the bulb sockets also. Isn't owning a 50 year old vehicle just so enjoyable?

Hello Rick,
Yes, I made a new post because I was afraid no one was going to see the other one that was 4 pages deep into the abyss. I guess it wasn't necessary. you are everywhere. ok, so you think it's a ground which bulb in the back is the turn signal the 3rd one from the top? I will go thru them as you say and thanks and your right I keep forgetting this MUTT is 50 years old it doesn't look it.

I think most everything has its own ground, so it can operate independently

not sure why but when it warms up they work fine all by themselves amazing stuff this old FORD

Try wiggling the headlight switch knob and moving it through blackout and drive positions. There are contacts in the headlight switch that can inhibit turn signal operations.
