Re: BACKUP LIGHT SWITCH

.....
Back to an old thread, Backup lights required in Ca if non-historic registration, how did you do this one?
There is a rod (I'm sure it has a fancy name) on the top rear portion of the transmission, which moves a fraction of an inch towards the rear when the shifter is placed in reverse...I simply mounted a microswitch in its path to activate the back-up light.

Bjorn - do you have a fotos from the back with the pipeline bed and the Hiab in the 'stowed' position ? Very nice setup and I plan to use your list as a master list of things to change - very helpful !

Here is one, let me know if you want more details, got plenty of pictures, just not on hand....

Stampy, never had a preluber on the deuce, OPCOM does. Spin-ons would help, but not really a sub for a prelub system.

Thanks Cranetruck. No need to make a special effort but if in the future you run across any more shots from the rear where there isn't anything on the bed, maybe you could put some here. I think your truck and Miltruckman's with the crane also, are the two more interesting and useful rigs I have seen here.

You have to include BFR's deuce now, he has a higher capacity HIAB with a slightly shortened pipeline bed too.
