NumberDummy mentioned you might be able to help me. I am pretty new to the 79'ford f 150 game so I could use all the help I can get . Thank you for your time.

Thanks Mike! Merry Christmas

Hey Yehaw, I know the bed bolts for a styleside (stepsides are different) are 1/2"-13 X 3 3/4" carriage bolts but these are not the standard carriage bolts. The heads are bigger and the square shank longer than the standard bolt. If you order them from LMC, all you'll get are way overpriced standard carriage bolts that you can get from HomeDepot (ask me how I know!) Dennis Carpenter has the correct bolts for $25.00 for the set of eight bolts, nuts and lock washers. The DC set however, doesn't use the correct nuts. That set has standard nuts and lock washers, the originals were "crimp-nut" lock nuts.
I know the size of the cab mount bolts is 7/16"-14 but I'll have to find the length. The radiator support bolts are 3/8"-16 again, I'll have to find out what the lengths are.
I'll find out what the lengths are and let you know.
Mike

Hey Mike, since your build thread is pretty much the standerd for a dentside restoration, I figured that you would be the guy to ask about certain bolts...

I need to know what size bolts the body mount bolts are, core support, cab mount, and bed bolts just to be a bit more specific, the ones that go through the frame, bushing, and into the body.

Thanks in advance Yeehaw1!!

Hey Mike, I've been window shopping quite a bit. I know your cleaned up and rebuilt most of your components. Can I ask where you got most of the parts you did have to buy? I've been thumbing through LMC but don't know of any other reputable vendors. Thanks for your help.

Mike,
Saw your posts about the 70s instrument panel. All of my gauges are going in and out (mostly out). I can keep them working by holding the snaps (on the circuit board) in place by hand. 1st bounce after moving and they go dead. So I assume the "regualtor" is working and providing B+ for the gauges but the connections are suspect? I have added di-electric grease and tightend both female tabs. Could the regulator be intermittient? (Again, I'm assuming, it's probably just a resistor?)
Thanks

Hello Mike, NumberDummy dropped your name as someone that could help me with a garrison power steering hose diagram. I wanted to make sure I have it all connected correctly. He said to ask you "Ask FTE member mikeo0o0o0 to scan and post this: Illustration Section 36, Page 11." Thank you in advanced for any help you may be able to give.

Right rear door: As in body side door (in lieu of sliding door), correct?

1973/79 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog / Body Illustration Section 200 - Page 15.

"Exploded view of both front & rear body side doors and all the parts.

FTE member mikeo0o0o0 has this catalog on a CD, ask him to scan and post this illustration in your thread.

Mike is a straight shooter, heck of a nice guy (not a crab like I am), does this for anyone that asks."..

I appreciate any help you can give me here before I order the cd from hipo parts

Respectfully
