This is my first time here. I have a 1966 Camper Special F 250 I was wondering if anyone can tell me where I can get clips to hold the wide molding on? Also I need headliner. Some idiot I let put a back window in for me destroyed my beautiful origional. I thought I had a 352 in it but fellow at auto store said that I can't go by that as they used the same block for the 390 (with 352 stamped on) This truck was a camper special and the camper was included in the sale Truck was very well kept. The bed was NEW when I took the camper off. The no scratch tailgate was wrapped in a baby blanket and kept in the camper where the dining table should be stored. It had headers on it and has the git up and go! I let this sit for 10 years. I thought I may sell it and had a buyer for 3.5K but he wanted to hear it run. Get this I put gas in it put a batt. in it set man. choke and after gas got to carb varoom! after 30 sec I pushed in the choke and it sat there saying......about time! I didn't sell it ANY truck that can do that after sitting outside I'm not selling! I ran it on prem. with marvel Mystery oil ..If I run it much what has to be done to run on modern crap gas? MMO seemed to work okay. How can I tell if this is the origional motor? thanks Lance

 

You may eventually have a problem with valve seats.

 

so I should have some heads ready to put on. What do they do to make heads crap gas worthy? Is it something that I can do? or does it have to go to machine shop?

 

still looking for the chrome clips

 

Newer vehicles have hardened valve seats. Many older vehicles have already been converted so I wouldn't rush out to buy some heads as long as your truck is running well.

And yes, valve seat installation is done by a machine shop.

 

Thanks, I plan to put it on road in Pa. as an antique...I will do that work and whatever else. Would love to put a diesel/ac/upgrade brakes and use it as every day.

 

Napa usally have these. When ever I needed chrome clips, they have had them. On one that old, they may have to order them in.

 

can't believe it! You know I put off the brake job thinking parts would be difficult to get. Walked into auto zone got MC $45 outright and all brake cyl for $52 this would have been fixed long ago had I known the prices/avaliability thanks for your help

 

Is there a place to get headliner?
