Hello all! I just purchased a 73 Torino Wagon with a 351 Cleveland and I just love it. It needs a lot of attention and will restore it as I drive it.  First question is how do I get to the bulbs of the side markers to replace them? Let me know all! Thanks! ------------- 73 Gran Torino Wagon - 351C 68 Ranchero - 302W 72 F250 - 390W |

The front ones you get to them via under the hood. The rear passenger side you get to via the spare tire cubby and the drivers side you need to remove the rear tail light. Hope this helps. ------------- Carlos....1975 Gran Torino Squire Station Wagon restored to look like a 1973 Torino Station Wagon my Dad bought new from McAnary Ford on June 6, 1973 in Gary,Indiana |
