Hi kenjh. I'll say you have been lurking for some time now. I'll ask my local Ford nut if he knows of any 54'ish stuff that's kicking around. Sounds like you are pretty tough on rear ends, maybe a little less power. I know, silly idea but I just had to say it.

the Bronco has a 428 warmed over..and yah the biggest problem is operator error...lol..the 54 I have is in need of fenders and hood..and perhaps a good cab..my front fenders have concreat and chicken wire for reinforcement,and it is a one ton with 17 inch wheels so it uses the larger fenders..Princeton?? your on the mainland ,,up in the Frazer valley??

Well that ups the possibility of breaking stuff. I'm about a 3 hr trip from Vancouver. Kind of next to the Okanoogan.

You have brain farts too huh.

I know the area of 97 mile. I spent my teen years and then some in Williams Lake. Normally when we go back we take highway 24. I remember there was a wrecker or someone with a swack of stuff just off highway 97. I don't know if it is there any more or not.

That will take a few days. Hopefully it will be worth the trip.
