Looks great. I thought you already had disc's on the bump?
I do and they were in about the same condition when I bought the donor parts that are on my truck. I got these to clean up and sell to make some cash to put towards my own truck.
In April of last year, someone was looking for a Ford F500-up big truck instrument cluster and I replied to say I knew where several were. I pulled 4 of them and ended up selling 3 out of the 4 clusters.
This is one of the trucks I had pulled one of the clusters from back in April, 2016 ('68-'72 F7000 with a diesel engine). --notice what's on top of the hood.
Before today, I hadn't been in this wrecking yard since that day in April, 2016. I had been thinking about that factory steel hood scoop lately and wondered if it was still there(?). I went back today to investigate and it was.
While I was there, I found 2 more Bumpside F600 instrument clusters that I grabbed as well, since it would be a shame to see them go to the scrapper.
Congrats on your score Steve. Note, that hood will also fit our pickups.
Ford used part number D0TZ16612A to replace 67/72 B,F100/750.
Unfortunately, the hood was pretty cancerous with rusted through places all over it.
....turboed, fuel injected, cowl-induction, small-block V-8, here we come.....
I don't know if I would actually do this or not. It's really just a matter that I set it on the hood mainly for $#!+z and giggles. .....but, you never know what I might do.....
Here's an idea that might make up your mind. Years ago I had a 79 Trans Am. Those reverse shaker hood scoops are fake. Blocked off on the exterior but Pontiac did give them a large O.D. air cleaner body and a mini top. So I cut mine open. Then I formed a door and hinged it on the bottom. Now to make it move I mounted a Holley vacuum secondary diaphragm pot to the under side. Installed a nipple in it to hook up a vacuum line to it. Hooked that vacuum hose up to venture vacuum on the carb. So the door I installed moved as with my foot on the accelerator pedal.
Not such a good idea in the rain though.
did you make a template off old crusty hood so you know where it goes ?
After I got to the wrecking yard and removed the scoop, I was going to take photographs of the hole layout, both on top of the hood and from the under side. However, once there, I realized I had left my phone back at the shop (Doh!).
I'll have to go back out there with some cardboard and trace off a pattern and get photos of it too.
This F7000 has been out there for several years. With my luck though, they'll crush it this week, before I can get the pattern off of it.
