Hey guys, I recently bought a 77 250 RCLB, and have a few things I need to do.

1. The headliner isn't long enough in the front to clip under the metal trim that goes all the way around the top of the cab. Is that not how it came from the factory? Am I just doing it wrong?

2. The mirrors/sunshades that are inside the truck are missing the plastic end pieces that allow them to clip onto the holder on the middle of the roof right in front of the windshield. Where can I acquire new mirrors?

3. The Windows don't seal all the way and let water in, as well as shake. Is there specific seals I can buy?

4. Same as above, but with the passenger side door.

5. Same as above, but with the rear window.

6. The dash has no lights, which makes it impossible to see my speed at night. The transmission shift indicator doesn't have that problem, which makes me think it's not the switch. Did these dashes have lights?

Thanks for the help, guys!

 

See lower parts catalog pic:

The sun visor anchor pins (04114) come with the rubber sleeves (04115) that can also be purchased individually.

These parts are available NOS but Dennis Carpenter reproduces them, sells both parts as a kit, @ $2.95 each.

 

you can get a lot of stuff from LMC also

Question 6 , yes they have there own bulb , here is the online cat for you to look at , http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/fc/t.aspx

 

Thank you!

 

You have to just adjust the headliner, get the front trim down and see if the headliner will slide fwd just a bit. It is not really a one man job, but it can be done.

On some of those visors they are a chrome metal piece and are called an anchor pin. X2 on Dennis Carpenter Sunvisor Pin And Tip | Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts

I got along with this great.73-79 Ford Bronco & Truck Window Weatherstripping Kit-Broncograveyard.com

Have you rotated the head light switch (counter clockwise?) to see if it turns on and brightens the dash lights. It will rotate to a click where it turns on and keeps on the dome light, when the doors are closed. Just before that click is full bright on the dash lights.


Ck out the vendors at the top of this forum. Bronco Graveyard, Macs, National Parts Depot...

 

When I got my 77, the dash lights didn't work, but I turned the rheostat (the headlight ****) "lock-to-lock" a bunch of times, and the corrosion loosened up to the point that the lights work most of the way around. I like mine on max brightness

The dash console has a bunch of little lights in it, and occasionally one does burn out. But be very careful if you remove the housing. Back in 77, they made the housing with some composite material that didn't hold up to the decades. I barely touched mine, and my hand went through it. The whole thing crumbled, and I'm still picking out the pieces. 78 and 79 used a better plastic

The door and window seals are available from Dennis Carpenter, which is where I bought my first set. Jeffs Bronco Graveyard carries both Dennis Carpenter and their own house brand. The generics work just as well and are half the price

 

As like most aftermarket part suppliers, LMC is mostly junk...JBG and DC are much better IMO!! Just my .02

 

X2 on that. I got a starter solenoid from LMC and it was bad right out of the box
