1990 E-250 Ready for Parting Out

My 1990 E-250 has succomed to cancer but has a lot of good parts on it. Other than the body and frame all is pretty good except the motor, which seems to have a bad thrust bearing. It is a low mileage vehicle (75,000 miles). If you have need of any parts let me know. I am not looking for a lot of money for parts as I am just going to take it to the scrap yard before long.

They look like this. Brackets and mirrors good, the pin at the base of the mirror and bolt heads mounting mirrors to truck, rusty. If I can make this work.

Where are you from? How bad is the rot? I could use some "patch panels" cut to fit lol

Also might be interested in some trim items if they're in decent shape. Whats your trim level? Looking for XLT pieces and maybe some rear heat/a/c stuff

Hmm. The look pretty decent. Any rust or bubbling at all? I don't want to have to replate as I can just do that to the ones I have.

They are the same as the ones I have. Thanks!

I am in southeastern PA. No real trim level, just custom. No heat or A/C in the back, it's a plain jane cargo van. The rot on the body is confined to the bottom edges. Frame is real bad and body has rotted around the body mounts. And what trim there is is pretty good. Actually I think it's clean, will check it tomorrow in the light. You can see in the pic what trim there is.

Mirror brackets are clean. Which part in particular are you referring to? The large arm is aluminum as far as I know and the part that bolts to the truck is chromed I think, no bubbling or flaking. Let me know and I can take more specific close ups for you.

Trim is clean except for one dent driver's side mid body. I think these pics show it fairly well.

Send me a PM on how much you're looking for the trim.

Can I cut the rear fenders too? Those things look way better than mine lol

Door hinges very good. Don't know about a price on them just yet.

I'm clueless on trim. Not looking for a lot of money, make me an offer. You can cut anything you want, it's only going to the scrap yard once it's been picked over.

Will take pic and I can ship. The question is can I get it out? I never took one of them apart.

Any idea what you would want for it?
The gauge cluster is easy to remove. Just remove the screws in the face and pull it back and to the left side. There is wiring harness on the right side. Squeeze it by the ends and it should remove fairly easily. There is a white plastic clip where the spedometer cable meets the back of the cluster. Squeeze it and pull it away from the cluster. I got it off with a little jiggle. The hard part (for me) was removing the cable from the cluster. It should slight right out. Key word being "should". Mine was stuck and when I tried removing it with pliers, I took part of the speedometer with it. That is whyi need a new gauge cluster.
Your cluster looks a little different than mine as far as the markings and face pattern, but the faces are removable, and quite possible exchangeable. The main difference that I see is the automatic version has an extra light bulb at the shift indicator and yours has a seatbelt light where mine has a brake warning light.
