Thank you for the quick response, and the additional information. Should be able to obtain a better face and ***** for the radio, since it appears to be quite common. Will include the data plate information you have graciously supplied to my classified ad. Many thanks for the valuable service you provide.

The wife is thinking that if the truck doesn't sell soon, that she will raffle the truck. Has anyone else tried that?

Be nice to the guy. He wants a Ford that's entirely different than an F1. Bet you can't find a better N500 on the internet. Just because my wife doesn't want it anymore, doesn't mean there isn't someone out there who appreciates this rare truck. Sent him a personal message, and hoping he follows up. Might even deliver the truck for him. Thank you to the others that responded to send him in the right direction.

I wasn't nasty to the guy, I could have said sarcastically "Didn't you read post #1?

He lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada, a loong way from Colorado.

btw: I know where there are 3 of these trucks, one owned by an FTE member in TX who restored it.

There's another locally, parked behind a barn. Another near Santa Barbara.

Didn't say you were nasty, and thanked you for your help. Halifax Nova Scotia is only 2,836 miles from Paonia Colorado, and I even offered to deliver the truck. Sure don't see many of the N-Series Fords. Hoping to save this one from the crusher.
