Very creative, Galendor!

It's hard to beat genuine Ford Motorcraft parts. 30 year old original Ford parts are often better than brand-new aftermarket parts. Sad, but true...

D8VY-17513-A .. Windshield Wiper **** / Available from Ford.

MSRP: $55.42 // FTE Ford Dealer Parts Dept. sponsor PARTSGUYED.COM price: $39.90. / PartsGuyEd: Horizon Ford Truck Center in Tukwila WA

Applications: 1980/84 F100/350 & Bronco // 1978/79 Lincoln Town Car.

Answer: A local Ford Dealer, for about the same discounted price as above...then marking the price up in the process.

And btw: This is not a Motorcraft part. Motorcraft: Fuel related, carbs, carb parts, carb kits and etc / Electrical related, switches, relays and etc.

And every FoMoCo Dealer that sells on the internet has an online parts catalog. The problem is, it begins in 1984.

So, do what others like Chris (ctubutis) have done, buy a CD copy of the 1980/89 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog from hipoparts.com .. look the part numbers up yourself.

Then...go to online websites like PartsGuyEd's, cuz you can also search for parts by using the Ford part number. Type it into the box...exactly what I just did.

But if you're pretty sure they both use that clip for attachment, I'll probably go with it...because I have never, not once, been able to go to a junkyard and get whatever I was looking for in one trip. I know people here swear by them, but for me they're cursed.
I'm 99% sure but I can go verify in the morning. I have an all original '78 F-150 out back. I know for sure the '77 T-bird ones fit fine though.

Wow, thanks for that valuable information, NumberDummy!

Since you seem to be on a roll, can you find the part number for a 1984 headlight light **** as well? Thanks!

For a 1984 what...Ranger, Bronco II, Econoline, Passenger Car?

I already found the wiper **** part number for 1980/84 F100/350's & Bronco's. It's the same **** as 1978/79 stinkin' Lincoln Town Car.

See posts 17 & 20.

I see the part number you posted for the windshield wiper ****.

I am asking about the HEADLIGHT ****. It is located right beside the windshield wiper **** on the 1980 - 1986 F-Series trucks.

I am asking specifically for a 1984 Ford F150.

I know of Ed's stroke and not being there at Horizon Ford anymore, and for a while the pged.com stopped working, but it came back and started pointing to a "rebranded" site from Horizon in Seattle without the PGEd stuff.

The last I remember hearing, Horizon was still a sponsor here but maybe that has changed. Not sure about the branding and related ownership stuff.

I hope Ed is doing well in his retirement.

Ed had a stroke one year ago, went back to work part time in April, full time in May, but was unable to handle the pressure.

His boss gave him rations of .... blaming him because business had dropped off while he was on medical leave. Ridiculous!

In July, "She who must be obeyed" and I were in WA as she was attending a 6 day confab in Seattle. Ed and I met for lunch and during the course of the conversation, he said "I don't think I can do this job any longer."

Horizon Ford is still an FTE sponsor, link via partsguyed.com. When I typed post #24, Horizon's website was down, so I used Tousley's website to list the FTE member discount price.

Just checked, Horizon's website is working again.

Ed was a Ford parts manager here in LA LA Land before moving to WA. His dad was also a Ford parts manager here in LA LA Land.

Ed and I are pals, I'm very sorry that the stroke he had, forced him to retire.
