When we got the '77, it didnt have any door mirrors and the rear view was worn out. So, today I swapped in a nicer rear view w/map lights(wired to come on with interior lights). Went to the LKQ looking for side mirrors, so I found a sweet mirror thats close to the stock look, but its a manual remote style from a crown vic(mid to late '80s) even the pass side has a cable remote thats long enough to mount the switch near the driver side...but that would make it impossible to remove the doors come summer. Needless to say, I found 2 pass side mirrors, but each had one stubborn screw that stripped out on each mirror...so I left them there.
of coarse..once I marked the tiny hole locations for the switch inside the cab...I got it a lil crocked, so I will have to fix that-but no biggie:banghead:
also found and grabbed two wiper delay switches...that come from mid '80s ford F series trucks. these are awesome, they have the same harness plug as EB's except they have a black control box and extra ground wire. so a simple swap out, and hook up the ground wire...Wahlaaa....delayed wipers:toothy12:
the switches were $6...better than those selling on ebay for $30:xyxthumbs:
