They have quite a few NOS parts, but very little place to display them, excepting the glass showcases. Most are boxed up in a backroom adjacent to the office.

Bill, the owner used to be partners with Harold Looney, who owned several Ford Parts Obsolete stores, the last one in Stanton.

Looney (who wasn't crazy!), purchased all the used and NOS parts (excepting Shelby/Mustang), when Valley Ford Obsolete in North Hollywood sold out.

 

I'm looking at buying a 1979 Ford dump truck, all I have is VIN F82BVDC5899, door plate is missing. Present owner thinks carb needs adjusting or rebuilt, so I'm trying to figure out what engine and if possible what the GVW might have been.

 

F82 = F800 (gas).

B = 300 1V I-6 or 370 4V V8.

V = Kentucky Truck Assembly Plant.

DC5899 = 1979.

Warranty Plate riveted to the left door face below the latch // Certification Label glued to the B pillar (door post) below the striker plate.

Both have the GVWR listed.

 

Hello

Could you help me out with the part# for a 1979 F700 fuel tank (gasoline) sending unit.

Its a round 75 gallon tank. If any other info is needed regarding the tank - please let me know.

And of course IF you can find one that is availiable.

Thanks so much.

There's a gazillion different sending units, because there's a gazillion different fuel tanks. Look on the top of the sending unit for its stamped ID number, post what it is.

Here's an example w/a 50, 75 or 100 gallon round tank: D4HF-9275-AA

 

Bill

Thanks for the reply

There does not appear to be any info on the top of the sending unit. Perhaps the unit has to be removed and the info is on the bottom side in the tank?

Would the information on the metal tag riveted onto the tank be of any assitance to you?

Thanks,John

 

If there's no ID number, the sending unit was replaced from one bought in an auto parts store. It might be correct, might not.

If it's the ID number for the tank on that metal tag, that'll be a big help.

 

Tank is a D9HS 9002 TA 75 gal as I previously mentioned

Thanks,John

 

I cannot find this ID number. There are several D9HS-9002's, but all have 3 letter suffixes.

Round, is it a step tank, does the truck have a gas or diesel engine?

 

 

Hey Bill,

Wondering if you might have any info for me on this part;
