Thanks Art for the advice. I'm going to take the bezel out and see what my options might be in trying to repair it... but he did a bang-up hack job on the radio slot so I think any repair is likely to look poor at best.

The other thing I need is a new boot for the transfer case stick, I noticed mine is crumbling. I don't see one for sale anywhere for the 80-86 year range. It looks pretty generic, and I might be able to get a standard shift boot to work with it.

I've got an assistant like the one on the left, my granddaughter. She's 15 and loves working on things.

I'm looking for an ECM for a 90 or newer, probably up through 95, 460 W/E4OD. It is the Bank Fired MAP sensor system. I found out today that the one I have is apparently bad.

 

Here is a picture I found in anther thread, I am looking for one just like it. It is the "Rosewood" style with the three cutouts for the clock at the top and the holes for the old **** type radio.



Here is a picture of the "Burlwood" for reference. I don't want one of these:

 

"Burlwood" is the bezel with the XLT logo and the radio cutout that I got from the junkyard this week. My OEM bezel is non-XLT and is not meant for a radio installation. It has the "Rosewood" style. The wood grain was so pretty I didn't want to cut holes in it, so it has been sitting on the shelf for 28 years.

 

You have a Rosewood radio-delete panel that hasn't been hacked up? Do you think you could post a picture of that? I'd think some guys would salivate over it..........

 

There's a NOS Rosewood radio-delete bezel for sale right now on eBay, listing number 370546943725.

Hope it's ok to say that here... It's not my item, I just saw it.

I also see a few Burlwood bezels on eBay (regular type with radio cutouts).

Looks more like a "2 holes drilled in old stock" bezel

 

Yeah, that's what I thought at first, however, I could be wrong but I think those holes are for the "XLT" or "Ranger" emblem or whatever would have ended up going in that spot.

I could have sworn I saw these emblems for sale somewhere but I can't seem to find them now. I might have been confusing them with the external emblems which you can easily find.

I suspect this is the case, Luke.... *something* needed to be put in that space and it is just like Ford to do it that way.

I have once or twice in my life seen CUSTOM there but never looked at how it was attached as I've never really closely looked at a radio-delete panel.

 

Yep, that's what the holes are for:

 

I could be wrong but that one looks like a Burlwood bezel not Rosewood.

I have a Rosewood bezel you can have for shipping cost. Not real sure of the condition.

 

Can you take a picture of it?

 

I remember now where I saw the dash emblems: National Parts Depot has them. On the current Ford 80-96 Catalog (6th edition) they're on page 7 at the bottom.


Luke

 

Sure can try. I'll get one in the morning.

 

84 F250 Diesel...Factory A/C: Looking for the Compressor Mounting bracket/s and the bolts if possible. And if possible the High and Low side lines. I assume the comp and brackets are engine specific. Thanks!
