I need a source for windshield trim for a 1974 F series.

I also need information on the easiest way to install.

 

LMC sells windshield trim, I don't know about installing it though.

 

The trim is the same as what was put on the 67-72's, so that may widen your search a bit. As for the easiest way to install the trim, get a rubber mallet, a glass of soapy water, and a plastic trash bag.
Put the chrome in the trash bag, drink the water and hit yourself in the head with the mallet, I guarantee you'll feel better than if you try to install it yourself.
My advice is to take it to someone, who does it for a living.

 

I agree with Highboy70, It is better to get it done by a pro b4 you get frustrated and break the glass. They are easy to put in if you know how tho. The guys that do it for a living make it look soooo simple. But if you are looking for GOOD replacement gaskets check out the links in my gallery page.

 

I think he is looking for the chrome trim that goes into the slot on the rubber windshield gasket.

I found a supplier here in Canada .
Just phone around to windshield installers and tell them you want to buy 60'-80' of it.

 

Highboy 70 has the picture for the novice. I have worked with this type of part for a long time and after a little discussion with an individual in Massachusetts it was a no mallet job and yielded great success.
I do appreciate his sense of humor. That was one of the best I have read in years.
I found two sets of the original moldings in a junk yard about 20 miles from home. One looks NEW. For $25, I now have both sets. THIS IS IN CALIFORNIA. I EXPECTED TO PAY AT LEAST ½ THE NEW PRICE OF $150 for each.

I am just getting into this truck / internet thing and have several questions.
If websites and other personal sources are not allowed to be published by the Ford Truck Enthusiasts Assistant Administrator, how can this information be transmitted, traded etc.

Two sources I have found for many Ford parts are Green Parts and Dennis Carpenter Reproductions. Carpenter has been purchasing Ford tooling for years and has the capability to make almost all of the general parts.
JC Whitney did the same years ago for the early Fords body parts up until the First World War.

I am running a 74 F250 with turbo 428 CJ using my own cam design and many other modes. The dyno tells me 825 ft lbs of torque at 2100 rpm. The crank was the major problem due to harmonics. Since this is my tug, it sees a lot of road use and has run close to 300K miles with nothing more than one valve job at 120K miles. At that time we changed to another type of valve.
We expect to get another 50 to 100 thousand miles out of the engine before we major it.
We are running several other similar engines.

Perhaps Ken will drop by and explain it

 

Partonizing FTE's sponsors is how you can show your appreciation for their helping to provide this site. Without them there wouldn't be an FTE site. I highly recommend you visit them before going elsewhere:
