There's a TSB for that OBS dash passenger side issue.

I see 2 or 3 times more obs trucks on the road than the bricknose trucks in the Southeastern U.S. I'm not sure I don't see more bullnose than bricknose.

I think a clean bullnose is one of the best things I've ever seen.....but in the northeast I don't see much of them.

I don't see many Bullnoses around the Southeast anymore, either. But the newest one was made 32 years ago. Most people don't want to drive a vehicle that old, and most people don't want to mess with anything with a carburetor anymore. Ford made a LOT of these trucks, but most of them were worked hard.

That being said, I just restored my 1985 Bullnose. It was my Father's truck:
