Gary, et all, I have a 1980 400cid, mechanical choke, thermostatic air cleaner, everthing is hooked up and working however the heat shroud around the exhaust manifold is missing. Ive looked everywhere (except junk yard) and cant find one. Any leads as to where i can get one?

Notice there are two halves - inner & outer (the label points to both).
It looks like there is ONE of the inner available NOS, this would come from Dennis Carpenter (Tel 704-786-8139) and would cost your left nut I'd imagine.
Inner:
D7TZ-9A603-A SHROUD - CARB AIR CLEANER Fits 1980/82 F250/350 w/351M & 400 engine; MSRP: $29.33 Dealer net cost: $17.60
Outer:
E0TZ-9A603-B SHROUD (CARBURETOR AIR CLEANER AIR DUCT) Fits 1980/82 E-F150/350 & Bronco w/351M & 400 engine; MSRP $25.62 Dealer net cost: $15.37
IOW, junk yard is gonna be your best bet......

Are you talking about 9A603 in this diagram? Presumably, you are.

So here are the pics of my redneck heat stove:
A Budweiser can with the top (and bottom) cut out fits perfectly onto the factory snorkel
A 12-14" section of 4" stove pipe opened on the seam and an oblong hole cut to fit the Bud can:
I enclosed the "heat-stove" ends with aluminum heat duct tape
the finished "heat stove" assembled:
the finished "heat stove" in place.

Very nice redneck engineering 
. However, when it rattles off and the whole freakish contraption gets sucked into the cooling fan and belts as you're going down the highway, its gonna make a disturbing racket!

I typed these part numbers originally, Chris took them from another post I typed.
Every time a part is obsolete and I list sources for same, I type both prices, so whoever is looking for them will be aware, because...
Obsolete parts prices can vary wildly from one source to another.
Here's an update on the two little charmers:
D7TZ-9A603-A / Obsolete
GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH has 1 = 800-543-4959.
CARPENTER NOS OBSOLETE PARTS in Concord NC has 1 = 800-476-9653.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
E0TZ-9A603-A / Obsolete
No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Resurrecting this old thread because my choke heater assembly crumbled to dust when I was reinstalling my carb. It appears this is no longer available, and perhaps not necessary if you have an electric choke. I have the electric choke so was just planning to block off the inlet/outlet tubes in the plate and reattach to the intake manifold. Does this make sense?

Maybe, maybe not. There are electric chokes and there are electric assist chokes. And the latter only turn the electric part on above something like 64 degrees. Read this: Chokes - ???Gary's Garagemahal and then tell us what you have.

Ah, I see. My heat tube coil is routed through the intake manifold, not from the exhaust manifold. So does that mean I have a hot air w/ electric assist? Is it possible to close off the intake plate, and install the aftermarket full hot air system in the exhaust manifold?

I see you live in Mn. If you are going to drive this truck in the winter, you will have to get this hot air system going again to have a decent driving truck in cold weather.

As for an aftermarket hot air system, can you provide a pic or a link to that? I haven't seen one of those, but you may be onto something.
