If you look close at the lollipop lights you'll see that they are amber and red, they just happen to have the red lenses facing up in the picture.
The red lens would face back so that a vehicle in the next lane would see if you had your signal on or not.
Did somebody say Puyallup???
I thought I knew of all the ones in this area? This is news to me!!
BTW Scott, I saw you heading to Dan's a couple weeks ago, those 395's sure looked nice!
Update.
I finally got around to completing this project. Tonight I installed a selector switch for 6/12 or 12/24 volt operation and installed a volt meter in the front panel.
Not sure how many there are, but me and the wife saw that one driving around town a while back. She really wanted it until I showed her the price on CL. rofl
I had that happen to me once. Long story short, the bolts holding the drum to the hub had not been torqued down properly when it was still in service. They eventually worked themselves loose, one came all the way out and wedged between the drum and brake shoe and bound everything up.

Picture #1 shows the additional 2 rectifiers added, I used 10 Gauge primary wire to make the connections (good for 30 amp) I paralleled the wire for a combined load of 60 amps. The rectifiers are rated at 40 amp each.

I've been afraid of someone doing that to to one of my MVs, So when I park on a grade, I chock the wheels then carefully roll up against the chock to put some pressure on it and keep the chock securely in place. When I'm ready to leave simply move away from the chock to release it.

When I got my deuce, the pressure gauge would read 30 PSI at idle, once up to temp idle pressure would be 0-5.
I found that I had a 120 PSI sending unit going to a 60 PSI Gauge, I changed the sending unit to a 60 PSI sender. I now have 50+ PSI at cold idle and 30 PSI at temp.
Here's a pic of my '73 with a 4" lift and a 3"body lift. Running 35" x 12.5" x 15" Cooper MT's, I added the body lift after running these tires for a while. I found that extreme articulation would cause the tires to rub in various places in the fender wells.
With 4" of lift, I'd stick with 33".
They're working for me, but I'm using Google Chrome. I gave up on Firefox cause it had issues running on my computer and I don't use IE unless absolutely necessary.
