The tow trucks here have blue lights 🤷‍♂️

[datzenmike]

Emergency vehicle. In Canada there is a flashing blue light on the back of snow ploughs.

              Here in Virginia,they have flashing lights going (Yellow) when a truck is towing a trailer,

when a tow truck is hauling a vehicle,etc.Many times they have them on when they're not.

            It gets kind of old when you see this all the time.

Like the dumbass in the left lane with blinker on for 15 miles?

Another oddball from the FoMoCo heavy salvage yard. 1973 Torino, 302 with a three on the tree. Mileage looks original. Windshield has been busted *MANY* years. Wife was interested until she saw the busted glass.

Thanks! Need to look for aftermarket. 

[datzenmike]

Doubt it's aftermarket for a 55 year old obscure Datsun truck.

 

Use as a template on thin wood paneling and cover with naugahyde. I did this with my 521 worked very well.

Interesting. How did you secure the material? Spray glue?

[six2ohyea]

Found a couple after market kick panels. Just sheet metal.

Spray adhesive, yes. There is special waterproof/resistant paneling for this purpose

Windshield glass is only $400. max. Thats a great car. Well as far as Fords go??

 

[ratpatrol66]

I guess this should be in other sightings but the Ford above??

Anyone have an option for a black rear view mirror? All the ones on eBay are grey

[datzenmike]

It's plastic. There are spray paints for plastic.

[six2ohyea]

Huh......a buddy told me he didn't think glass for it would be too crazy either. I really hadn't looked. Haven't seen one in a salvage since the 90s. Around here most has their engines pulled for pickup trucks and then the bodies were crushed immediately.

Looks an undercover cop car from a Dirty Harry movie circa 1971. I'd rock the hell out of it!
