The dash pad is not glued ("welded") to anything.  The under
side of the page has a metal base that is bolted to the dash.
You need to go in under the dash and unbolt it and it comes
off quite easily.

My first truck was a 1972 F-250 crewcab.  Great truck for the $200 I paid for it.  Plenty of room for 8+ people.  I know that era of trucks used coach conversion companies to build the crewcabs and different companies did things differently so parts for damaged back doors are harder to come by.  Another problem my truck had was the drip rails were one continuous rail around the entire cab and would hold water when the truck sat.  Caused a rust problem on the roof.

Subject: Truck Mirrors


Hey everybody, I am on a search for type 8 mirrors. They are also known as
recreational swing-out mirrors, gooseneck mirrors. I believe they are the
same from probably 73 to the 97 heavy duty's. I first want to get a pair for
my '89 F-350, and then probably a pair for my '78. I have a pair of
universal, but the top mount will not angle to match up with factory holes.
As you all know, Ford doors curve up just a couple inches below the window. I
could just mount the universals a little lower, but that means I would have
my two factory holes for the top mount just open. I will already have the two
lower holes left open that I will have to cover. I really want to drill the
least amount of holes possible, that's why I would like to get factory
mirrors. This way I will only have to drill one more hole for the top mounts,
and the two for the legs. I have checked with several dealers and have gotten
prices from $84 and some cents to $112 and some cents. I got one guy at a
dealer to tell me that the dealer cost was $50 and some cents after I told
him that I thought it was absolutely insane to pay $85 for a mirror! Has
anyone ran into this problem? I'm still working on getting a dealer to give
them to me for cost, so I'll let you know how much luck I have. Does anybody
know of maybe an aftermarket version that is specially designed to fit fords?
By the way, the part number I was given is E2TZ17696A. Any info is
appreciated!

Worked on my neighbor's Daughter's car today.  Had to go find a spring
compressor for the rear springs.  Silly me, I thought I could just slip it
all together and use the weight of the car to compress it.  Couldn't even
get the spring in there without compressing it a little.  Turns out these
things are not all that bad to work on once you figure it all out.  Put a
new front axle in it and raplaced the rear spring and shock on one side and
it really wasn't all that bad.  Course that's with my lift.  I wouldn't even
have the energy to mess with it otherwise.  The lift actually makes it kinda
fun, even for an old man :-)

BTW, talked to a fellow (young too) who happens to have a 150x60 foot barn
he thinks he might turn into a shop.  Makes ya kind a jealous don't it?? :-)

Sounds like barn envy to me, but, I know where you're coming from,
two years ago we doubled the size of the DC where I work, we went
from 135000 to 270000 sq ft, we just figured out it's too small, we were
hoping for about 7 years growth to fully use the added space, we're there
right now, it's a constant shuffle to accomodate the product coming in, as
apposed to the product going out, thankfully I don't have to worry about it,
as the maintenance dept just has to make damn sure all the equipment runs
flawlessly all day, every day. Which can be a problem when it comes to
the Turret Sideloaders, aka the big bastards, I had an interview with two
parts reps from Crown, who were in the area doing a meet and greet in
the Pacific Northwest, and I ripped a strip of f them both, they'd been to
Boeing, who have a couple of older units than ours, with about half the
hours of ours. I was asking why it was so difficult to get TS parts, as
all the orders I've made are factory only, also known as "wait two days",

where the hell is this going?? I don't know, I just need to vent I guess,
....sorry....

yes its possible to buy just the  accellerator  pump. just go to your local

metal tag off from the carb,take it with you so they can get you the right

I can't help with the dash question, but Dennis Carpenter has the cab
mounts (the real deal). Don't be tempted by the aftermarket mounts. You can
spot them as being different from 20 paces away.

Cab mounts are a chore to replace. I found it relatively easy once the cab
was off the truck and laying on its back. But, I am prohibited from
engaging in such behavior any more. If anyone has any tips for doing them
with the cab on the truck, please let me know. They are due to be replaced
on my present truck.

Subject: Pigeon Forge ?'s


Hey all,

I'm considering a trip to Pigeon Forge this May for the Supernats.  (May
17-20 for those that are interested.)  I've got a couple questions though.
Is this an F-100's only show or does it also include 150/250/350+ trucks
of the same vintage?  I'm mostly into the 70's trucks and I was curious
how many are represented from that vintage at this show or is it more
geared towards the earlier models?

I'm considering taking a week of vacation ending at the time of the show.
How much else is there to do in that neck of the woods?  My wife and I
enjoy hiking and bike riding and I see that PF is not too far from Great
Smoky Mountain Nat'l Park.  Having never been to this part of Tenn. how is
it for a life-long Northeasterner?  BTW I'm not into country music so
Dollywood doesn't really interst me.  :-)

Any and all help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric Finn

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish there but you can get generic
sets for about $89 from JC Whitney and other parts sources and I believe
even Dennis Carpenter has them.  Ford still lists them for around $120 as I
recall.  Just got some for my Aerostar and checked the price while I was at
it.  If I understand it correctly the Generic ones are still Ford designs
but fit more than one model as do the Ford parts you can order.  Ford only
maintains a part for service for a few years if there is any way they can
combine numbers to cover a larger number of models.  Go try to get the same
set of plug wires some time for even a new car and you will see what I
mean....one size fits all :-(

Hire my son to reduce your inventory :-)  His first job as manager of the U
of M medical warehouse was to organize the inventory so it was "Just in
Time" but they could not afford to ever run out.  He was able to reduce it
considerably and then reduce it again.  Apparently his system is working :-)
Ford tried this a while back and still believes in it but they got a little
carried away and didn't anticipate production problems so eventually
increased their floats after many near disasters with production stoppages
in large assy plants due to lack of parts.  Funny thing is that the people
in charge of making these decisions are looking at paper and have never seen
the floor where the job is done so they have no clue.  They supposedly ask
for lower level input but don't always hear what they say or the truth gets
clouded by some manager's personal agenda.........Glad to be free of all
that:-)

DollyWood is more than country, it's "Americanna" and there are crafts that
are interesting and a full size train that runs through the park and you can
ride on etc..  Fun for kids and lots of things for a lady to shop for too.
We will probably plan on going there each time we visit now.  There was a
store for little girls that had really nice dresses for a very reasonable
price we thought.  We were actually surprised at the reasonableness of the
prices in all the stores in Dolly Wood.

The Smokeys are about 15 minutes from the Grand Hotel on a quiet day but
about 1.5 hours during the height of the show :-)  Unless you just like
looking at Vegas like towns, bypass Gattlinburg, it's a tourist trap and
there is virtually no parking near resturants etc..  There are many little
hiking excursions from about 1/2 mile to several miles you can take to see
some nice sites, water falls and scenic views etc..  If you veer to the
right past the welcome center you will wind up on the west side of the
mountain and in a quaint little area that is growing like a weed with
construction.  If you take the Gattlinburg bypass you will wind up in the
reservation which is actually in South Carolina (I think?) which is
basically a bunch of curio stores for tourists and stuff supposedly made by
the indians etc..  There is a really nice tape you can get at the Welcome
center that "Talks" you through the Smokeys with a nice history of the area
too.  My wife and I enjoyed that.  We spent 3 days mostly in the park and
still didn't see it all so we have something to look forward to next time
:-)  Take a jacket with you if you go to the top, even on a hot day, trust
me:-)

The 56's are the most represented class with all the other vintages and
sizes having classes through 78 (last year).  The early 60's are well
represented usually as well as panels, HD Co's and other neat things.  There
are usually a few really old ones there too but they are all Fords.  Sad to
say though that many of the really old and cool ones had Chevy engines in
them:-(  I was drooling over a rally nice burgandy 35 till he opened the
hood......:-(
