Well, I'm probably going to keep my current setup at least for another 2-3 months, if you're still interested by then. I do, however, have a leaky master cylinder that I pulled out of the '68 if you want it to rebuild.
When I replace my setup, I'll have available a booster (that's only 1 month old), a master cylinder (15 months) and the original valve. Just as a note, the booster/cylinder setup goes in a '72, but fits at least back to '67.

It's wierd. I got the booster/cylinder from a '72 in a yard and put them in my '67. Then the cylinder went out, so I replaced it. Then I put that setup in my '68 and the booster had developed a bad leak while it took a 9-month siesta. So now I've got a brand new booster, too. Looks like I get to scrap all of that in a few months though! Let me know if you're interested in that old '68 cylinder and if you might want the other in a few months.

This topic was discussed earlier, you'll find it in the archives when they're up. In the meantime, anyone care to comment? I can't, my truck is 30 years old!

Are you aware if the '92s were covered? I've got a forest green '92 Bronco XLT that just might need repainting.

Mine's 33 years old and got so much paint on it that it can't remember what color it started life as :-))

Sorry this is not a "helpful" reply, but it looks like help is being given by others

New guy again.

I buried this question deep in another reply earlier, so I thought I would make it one of it's own.

I am looking for a reasonably priced grille (preferrably chrome) for my '64. I have found them in a couple of catalogs for around $200. Is this about right? Junks yards that I have searched have had nothing. I have a good '63 grille that was on the truck when I bought it. If anyone is looking for one, I will part with it when I can find a '64 (need it to hold the headlights up :-))

Want a pic of a '71 F100 Custom? Past farm truck, ugly two tone (original) green paint, two wheel drive. I could go out to the parking lot and snap a pic and email it to you.

Hello hello. I am also new to the list, and in about 10 days I should receive my screaming yellow `97 Splash.

Am leaning towards getting a Rhino spray in lining. I've heard all the positives, but are there any NEGATIVES with getting it done? How do they look after 5-6 years?

Don't know much about the Rhino spray, although the magazines seem to like it.
I have a Penda liner because I tend to haul a lot of loose material (ie: dirt, gravel, plants, etc.).
If you go with a bed liner IMO the Penda is the only way to go.
It hasn't warped or shifted and has a huge lip that covers the bed rails that prevents scratches.

In message "Digest format now available!", you write:


:BTW, check out the web site, the following has changed in the :last two days:

Ken,

Would it be possible to set the pictorial up as an HTTP with links to each of the images? It'd take a lot less time to view the pics individually by choice rather than viewing the whole thing.

Thanks ...

Andy

The Rhino Linings is tops.

The good thing about it is that it is permanent. The bad thing about it is that it is permanent. I would not go with a drop in bed liner. They may not warp or bend, but they tend to collect water under them with resultant rusting of the bed over time. They definitely will not outlast a Rhino Linings or other top quality sprayed-in lining (if there are other good quality sprayed-in linings on the market).

Just a well satisfied customer.
