I figured you guys would find it humorous. Even my wife snickered at it!

I loved that link so much, that I told a couple of real Chevy owners to go check it out!

I've used Obsolete Ford Parts for a while, and I've never had any problems with them. I've tried Bob's F100 Parts and they told me that they didn't cover my model year ('68). As far as older stuff goes, they look pretty decent, though.

I agree with Ken, even the old three speed tranny mount that I took out of my '64 was very stiff and almost unyielding - replacement is in order...

Yeah, the price is about right.

>>> "William Rotureau" 02/19/97 10:16pm >>> 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 :-))

X-VMS-To: in%"fordtrucks lofcom.com"
To: FORDTRUCKS lofcom.com

I have been having wiring trouble with my 77 F-250 4x4.
My question is does anyone make a wiring harness for my truck?
I picked up a stripped cab and I will be doing the swap this summer and I would love to put a new harness in while it is all apart.
I would consider using a used one from out west if anyone has any
sources please let me know. Where I live here in the east everything is rusty and the wires are very delicate from the cold winters I guess.
Thanks in advance

Does the bed need to be in pristine condition to do the sprayed in lining?
Will it work on an older bed that has rust or wear already?

You don't mention where the truck is registered. If this is from California or some other state that has a manditory smog law with a visual inspection you will need to keep ALL of the emissions controls to pass the visual. Does this motor have CFI? or is it an electronically controlled carb? - in any case you should probably keep all of the stock vacuum connections intact or you will have an excess amount of emissions and poor gas mileage.

To find a list of all vacumm connections look under the hood for a vacumm connection tag or consult the factory service manual.
