    M101/M100 brake handle

    I may have learned something today. Scary thought. Are M101, early models, like a 1952, and M100 brake handles the same thing? If they are, is there a difference between the left and right handles?? Or are those interchangable? (Again I'll attach the best picture I have of the style...

I have the rear lights set but I'm wondering if I should put some form of lights on the sides, besides the reflectors. When i got the trailer it had those semi trailer style lights front and back. My PW is 6...

    Well I got my wiring and bulb issues figured out, and short of a little body work, my 1952 M101 is just about done. I had to run wires from the front turn signals and the third brake light on my '01 Dakota to get the rear lights to work properly, but they do. And I bought a pintle hitch and...
