Blanking plate is for the headlight leveling option imgine if your truck was heavily sagging in the back aiming headlightscat the trees.
It was a way of adjusting them down electricaly with a servo motor mine had the plugs behind the headlights ready for install

Well, chased down some fuel leaks and everything looks good. She lights right off and purrs.

And I can't bring myself to drive the darn thing. It turned into 10x the project I thought it'd be and I just got burned out on it.

Just seeing it in the yard pisses me off. This sucks.

Glow plugs are live!
Anyone know what the blanking plate next to the mirror control knob is for? I popped it off and found a nice 3/8" hole that was very easy to drill out to 1/2" for the momentary and in a great position. View attachment 56204
It's for a 4 position rotating switch to a motor to angle the headlights down when towing.

*EDIT* ooops... salvvia answered this already. damn iPhone...

Ordered a new viscous clutch, then found out that the nut is not a normal viscous clutch size so I ordered a 32mm spanner on Amazon and received a 34mm. This damn thing has been a royal pain in the ass every step of the way.
