Wow, that stuff really filled up that crate you built! But, you're right; a cardboard box would never have worked.
I read back to post #32 and it looks like Tom needs 8 of the Hi/Low interior lights, and that will leave 8 I can probably use. I want to try to convert them to LED, so it won't matter if they are different inside.
As I said, all of my exterior lights are disintegrating, so I need all of the Model 9e exterior lights for sure. Lacquer thinner will dissolve the plastic, but I need all clear anyway. However, I may be able to use the red ones as tail light, etc.
The model 73 lights may work as turn signals, but I'll wait until I see what you come up with.
Alex, as soon as you’re ready to ship I'll contact you by PM, and we'll figure out how to do the payment thing.
Thanks for all of the hard work on this deal... :26_7_2:

Alrighty...didn't mean to drop off the grid but got really busy with "crap" for a bit. Anyway, I'll get in my rig tomorrow and nail down the interior light situation. And while we're at it, I noticed something the other day on my rig. Above the rear barn doors there are three little rectangular red marker lights, and the one in the middle is different for some reason. It looks like it was replaced with something "close". I'll get a pic and post it. If you've got a match AND Pat doesn't need it, I'll take it.

Tom, I don't need any, and for some reason mine is the same way. I'm going to replace mine with something smaller and move them just above the rain gutter in line with the corner lights. I plan on mounting a backup camera in that center location, they have got to go. The two outer ones are in pretty good shape and you're welcome to them, if you want them. I can pull them off anytime, and just put some tape over the holes for now.
Just PM me your name and address, and I'll send them to you. They should go in a USPS 'If it fits, it ships' box for practically nothing.

Man, I'm going to have enough lights to decorate a Christmas tree. As a matter of fact.....
Tom, you're welcome to them and I'll get them shipped right away. PM replied to also..

Tom,
Here are your clearance lights, one good and one not so good. They are made by Peterson Manufacturing and are the V122XR Vanguard II Chrome Clearance Marker Light, Red. I went ahead and cleaned up the best one just to see what products worked the best, considering what I had. It was washed with Dawn and warm water first and then polished with a Terry Cloth towel.
For the lens, I used the toothpaste (with baking soda) first, and then the Plexus polish.
For the chrome plated plastic body, I used the Mothers' Mag Aluminum Polish.
This guy has new and used replacement lenses:

And this guy has a little of everything, you just have to look for it. Here is a new complete unit.

If you put a new one on there, it's going to stick out like a sore thumb. Since mine has some wear on it, it will blend right in with yours.
I'll try to get these mailed out tomorrow.

Holy crap!! I'm going to have to try that.
Here's why I have been quiet:
Also ground to metal the sub frame and the side armor. Bed liner is tough stuff- even with a grinder the whole thing took forever. This is an all-pro for my tacoma. Really underwhelmed with the finish work they did cleaning up welds and edges, but it's much better now.
Patoz let's get Xmas started! I'll get a quote from OD freight and see about finding a box or boxes for the remainder.

I wish I could find a bumper like that for my F250 to mount the Warn 9000i winch I have. That thing a beast! Is 'All-Pro' the name of the manufacturer?
The light that I cleaned up was in much better condition than the crappy looking one, so don't expect a miracle. If the chrome plating is pitted, it's pretty much gone.
I'm ready anytime you are! You're probably tired of all that stuff taking up space anyway.
Sure, as long as you're positive you're not going to need to put it back to stock for any reason. Right now, I'm not sure what electrical circuits, lights, appliances, etc. I'm going to put in mine, so I'm just collecting parts to have on hand. Once I get it all figured out, I'll probably have to design and build a combination AC/DC panel just for the module (box). Remember, mine will be just a trailer so one combination panel is all that's needed.

The main exterior lights are Whelen 9e liniar strobe halogens (except 1-2 I think which are standard halogen)
I have:
4 red
7 clear scene lights
6 red with the lenses painted white (so they were road legal) might come back off with paint thinner

Could you measure the height and width of those lenses? They look like they might work for me.

Tom,
Your lights are on the way. I sent you a PM with the info and tracking number.
Update: According to the tracking sheet, the package was delivered April 14, 2014 1:24 pm EDT, so if you didn't get it something's wrong!
