Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2000 22:16:25 -0500 Ok, I have a '67 F100 that came with A/C. Probably dealer option because the dealership was/is in Burleson, truck was made in Dallas, and the A/C Company is in Fort Worth. It STILL exists too! Name of it is Clardy Manufacturing Company. My A/C has a plate on it that says Cust-O-Matic.

But you still get what you pay for. On tip if you want to improve the quality of the paint job would be to prep the truck before you take it to Maaco. Remove all of the trim and anything you don't want painted (tail light lenses side marker lights, grille, trim, etc). Something you could do over a weekend and will go a very long way to improving the results of the paint job. > and but I TOTALLY wanna get it painted purple > I'll be a single chick lol> Will that make it harder to sell > when I do decide > to sell it?

Thanks y'all! =) If you were going to sell it right away (which you are not) I would get the cheepo paint job if it really need pain. Since you are going to keep it a while you might want to think about a better quality body shop. doing a color change is not that easy. Think about having purple on the outside and still green on the interior. If you have a green dash pad or other parts that you would need to change to match as well as paint the interior.

It was a trade-in at a local used car lot. The body looks to be in good shape, but I didn't look it over really well. It has 16.5 rims in need of new tires. It has an FE under the hood with an auto tranny behind it. Power steering, power brakes, and an under-dash ac unit. It also has a bed mounted tool box and an extra heavy duty rear bumper.

Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2000 17:57:43 -0400 Hi Folks, A question for all of you. Feeding the 460 in my '77 F150 4X4 is cutting into the upgrade budget. Does anyone run a full time propane set-up? Talking with someone who does the conversions he said that there may not be a unit big enough to feed a healthy 385. Does anyone have any real world experience? Any help or directions to links would be appreciated. Thanks, John '77 F150 4X4 460/C6/4:11's/33's ------------------------------ From: "Robert Werner" Subject: Wild & Crazy idea Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 01:12:42 +0100 I had my wisdom teeth yanked Friday, so most of this weekend I have been sitting round the house doin nothing except dreamin about trucks and cars (like most of you guys out there, I imagine). Anyway, this might be the Vicadin talking, but I got an idea. My father has an 84 mercedes w/ a 3 liter in-line 5 cylinder turbo diesel. Good mileage, diesel is cheaper than gas, and that little hunk of german iron really gets that car haulin pretty good, and that car ain't light. So I started thinkin maybe one of those would go good in a 1/2 ton or a ranger or something. Am I the only one who's thought of this, or has anyone tried/looked in to it? I know, it would be destroying the purity of a good ford, but it seems like it might work. Thanks for letting me ramble, and let me know what you think.....
