Slow 83 restoration

Not much has changed on my truck since I got it about a year ago. I've done some maintenance fixed a couple things, and not much else.

It still has a slight rod knock, but it's drivable as it is at least.

Took a current picture today, bumper installed without signals, and removed the rusted out broken rear bumper.

You just remove the guts of your marker light and install these in the stock marker bulb housing. You have to modify the 1157 bulbs with a file a little bit, because the nubs on the bulb that lock them into the socket are offset instead of equal like the marker bulbs.
