aftermarket mods

have an 89 F250 xlt recently got interested in adding aftermarket upgrades and am having no luck whatsoever in finding anything. I started looking into hypertech for a chip and could'nt find anything reccomended for that early a year, spent about 8 hours online one sunday and discovered if you have a chevy that dates back to 1902 no problem but a ford before 1992 and no luck. I could'nt even find a bull bar! Any help would be greatly appreciated

I had it put this way for me once...

The reason you can buy most anything for a Chevy is becuase its weak and needed replaced anyways.

Motorhaven here on this site has a chip for you Diablo two-program chip, depending on your computer code. SOME codes are not supported..

You can do several mods: headers, exhaust and CIA, and without aftermarket tuning. Advancing the intial timing is an improvement as per the seat-of-the-pants dyno.
