Thanks. It is a fading memory. Haha!

Just been doing some parts gathering for the restoration.

C5TZ-17255-A - Speedometer assembly





C3TZ-18813-A - Radio Antenna Kit. Sort of a fun piece since it has FoMoCo on just about everything, even stamped on the wire lead in several places. Dennis Carpenter reproduction doesn't have any of these markings.









C5TZ-2780-A - Parking Brake Control Assembly. Impossible to find a new handle, but they do come with the complete package.





C5TZ-2853-P - Parking Brake Front Cable and Conduit. Approximately 98" long. This is 1965/1966 F250 4x2. Still readily available and cheap so I got two.



C6TZ-2A635-G - R.H. Rear Parking Brake Cable Assembly. This is the longer 74 1/32" long. 1966 F250 only and then only H/D or Camper Special.



C6TZ-2A635-H - L.H. Rear Parking Brake Cable Assembly. This is the shorter 67 17/32" long. Again, 66 only and then only H/D Brakes or Camper Special.



Max had the spare tire carrier in the corner of the garage but the long bolts that hold it and the spare tire up were missing in action. Found a couple of these items.

C5TZ-1408-C - Spare Wheel Carrier Support Bolt. Overall length including loop 12 9/16"

353735-S100 - Bolt-Channel to Frame-left (drivers) side / 1/2" -13 x 10 1/2" long




The not-so-obvious part making itself look like its from 1948 timeframe....

A8TZ-1131-B - Front Hub Grease Cap



380878-S - Button. This is the plugs that go in the cowl. 5 per truck. Got a whole bag full of them, about 60. Enough for about 12 trucks. Nice and pliable.



To make room for the (defunct) A/C, which I removed early on, they had cut and moved the bracket for the two heater control cables. I got a used bracket to move it back to the right spot. Just could not find any NOS.



Also, disassembly of the truck continues as I find parts as I can to bring it back to its former glory.
