The display was neat and the price was reasonable. But after looking closer and asking some questions. I decided against it. The window opening (where the glass comes up thru the door has to be modified. You have to make the opening larger with a cut off tool. And, you have to modify the hinge pocket in the door to clear the wider glass. while it's not undoable, I already had my doors finished and didn't want to start cutting them up again. Beside, I miss my old vent windows.. sometimes you need a little air moving in the truck without the whole window being rolled down.. On rainy days, the vents are sure nice. hope this helps... take it for what it's worth. john ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2000 10:07:34 -0500 From: "Jason Piccola" Subject: Re: 1955 F250 Rearend Swap Curt, I also have a 55 F-250. I have the same problem. 55 MPH is about the fastest it will go. I wanted to keep the truck stock so I was thinking about replacing the gearing within the Rear end. I got this information from someone and am not sure if it is even possible. Curtis Morris wrote: > Please, I need some help! I'm new at posting to this list, but I read > it everyday.

Randy ------------------------------ Date: 14 Feb 2000 09:14:18 -0600 From: Randy K Selby Subject: Random Thoughts I have a couple of questions, if anybody has time: 1) Where can I find a script FORD sticker for the tailgate logo on my '50? 2) I have the filler piece for the left side of my radiator (the one that the harness goes thru) is there also one on the right? 3) What is the hole pattern in the grill bars for the stainless trim clips? Have trim, but no holes in grill. 4) When putting my rear fenders on, do I use welting and anti-squeak? Found my horn wiring confusion was due to missing parts of my new harness. Attempting to remedy that. Thanks for everyone's help... Hope to have new pics for Ford Trucks website as soon as the weather cooperates.

I do have another question however. Why in the world would one want to due away with the wing vents? I wish they would bring them back to the new cars again. I myself miss the vents more than anything. The only reason Detroit did away with wing vents, is it is cheaper to build a car without them. Keep the vents, they actually work.
