I am thinking about having the raised runners on the boards coated with the sprayed-in bed-liner material, such as rhino-liner, etc. I have been very pleased with my sprayed-in liner in my F-150, and think it would be durable in the running board application. Has anyone tried this?

It works great. The only thing is that stuff fades in the sun. I would recommend painting it a similar color to keep it vivid. I was thinking of doing the same thing to my chrome ones now as they are about 8 years old and slippery when wet.

I have a 55 panel truck with this option. The stainless trim for the big back window cab is available from one of the truck shops out of California I think it might be Bobs F100 or something similar. I saw an article last year or so in Custom Classic trucks on this product. I'll try to find the article to verify who makes this. ------------------------------ From: TNickolson aol.comDate: Wed, 23 Feb 2000 16:33:26 EST Subject: Re: running boards I have soothie's, not practical for every day use.

There's also a flat plate with knobs on it where the steering column hooks to the dash that the guy said may be radio knobs. Does anybody know of these, original accessory or not? Are the knobs even radio knobs? I haven't brought the truck home yet, so I can't follow the wires to see where they lead. I did see a '53, (at least advertised as), radio with a round dail on ebay. I'm guessing that this may be a car radio, right/ wrong? Any info is appreciated. I may have some extra F-350 parts for sale in the future if anybody is in need, but I won't know until I do a better inventory of what I need. Mark.

It's not buckets but it gives me the individual control and has a nice arm rest. It was an easy and clean installation as well. I even was able to use the original mounting holes. I just had to fabricate some mounting brackets very simple task. And the drivers side is 6 way power. They do have headrests but they are removable and don't stick up to high.

I know that the 'D' indicates the 1970's so 'D8' means 1978 (but that casting number just indicates when the part was designed, not when it was made). I'm no sure what else beyond that. Previously http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.wrljet.com/engines would be the place to look, but the owner has taken it off line.

As someone else noted, these casting numbers alone are not proof positive of the year the heads were produced. >Does anyone have a reference listing for Ford head casting numbers?
