Fabbed a trunk mat out of a Gray carpet from Home Depot. Thanks to my buddy Bob Haug for providing me the patterns to make the job a snap! Pat

Looks nice!

Got the map light and cigarette lighter/iphone charger working for the trip up to Williams next week.

Many thanks to RBMan for his great photos! they really helped.

One down, one to go on refurbishing the reverse lights. Yes, there were 2 on the '70 model year.

How did you replicate the GS sticker on there?

I used dry transfer "rub on" letters and lines to surround the "S". I found these sheets on line at:

After applying them I gave them a quick shot of clear acrylic lacquer for durability. I suspect the original factory markings were made in white ink with a rubber stamp. The fonts and sizes aren't a perfect match, but they are very close. It's one of the little details I wanted to include.

Split it in twain:

Glad someone could use the info. Now you just have to be careful to not push it on when reaching for the center console release button.

I came home from a four week trip and found a dead battery. My little charger couldn't seem to bring it back to life. I opened the console looking for something and noticed the glow. Oops!

Thanks again. I actually used an LED bulb instead of an incandescent (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DNMX8 ... UTF8&psc=1). I wanted to reduce the current load on the original wiring and buy time to turn it off if I forget.

Should run for about 3 months before the battery is below 50%

I like the idea. I seem to accidentally hit the map light a lot. Thanks.

Second lamp assy done...and they work, too! -jt
