I guess that works for a while. As most guys familiar with these trucks know, you've got your choice of pretty much any seat from '68 to '96 as an easy swap. The seat tracks have to be changed over for seats newer than '80.

Just thinking about part sources. The main wreckers I haunt are the picknpull in west edmonton or calgary and karbashers on clover bar road at sherwood park. Funny thing about kb is that I've scored five factory rad overflow jugs there over the last twenty years or so. Never seen one at another wrecker. Not as many old Fords being drug out of the bush as there used to be, though.

If you can get back to the pnp there's a good windshield you should grab. I was there this afternoon and found a 77 F250 Ranger that had a nice shaded windshield just sitting in the opening; someone had carefully taken the rubber out and left it intact. Quite a change in tactics from the behaviour of the morons you usually find in those places. I didn't have the room to take it for you or I would have. I was able to score a '79 tilt column and a very nice 73-77 grill shell, however. Funny thing about the column; someone wrecked the dash trying to grab the delay wiper switch and also went to all the work of taking out the p/s box but left the column sitting there. Four bolts and two nuts later, it fell into my awaiting hands I believe that's called a 'gift'
