hey guys, need some help
hey guys, new here! lol but anyway
i have a 1969 F-350 has the 390 4speed manual, and power steering, we built a steal bed for it, it weighs just over 6k lbs, but i was wondering, what is the best place to get odds and ends for it?? like the horn button, headliner board or whatever, just small stuff like that? and another thing... i have searched and searched... where can i find a nice breather for it? i bought one that was supposed to fit on a 390, but it wouldnt go over my carb no matter what i done...
and another thing.. where in gods name can i get a set of rims for it? the 2 peice rims i have on it have almost bald tires and there dry rotted, cant find tires for them. and when u do noone wants to mess with the rings... so where could i find some nice 1 peice dish rims for it?
thanx guys,,

Your split rims are prolly 16 x 5.5 tube type.
There are at least two tubeless rims. They are in the 1965/72 year ranges. One is 16 x 6, the other is 16.5 x 6. Both are 6.50 bolt circle 8 lug. These were used on 1965/72 F250's, some 1967/72 F350's and E300 (one ton) 1969/74 Econolines. These wheels will be salvage yard only. There's a new sponsor on FTE named Mikes Truck Salvage, you might contact him.
The rest of the parts, horn button, headliner, etc...I'd suggest FTE sponsor Blue Oval Truck Parts, Dennis Carpenter, or NPD.
EDIT: Horn button was used on: 1964/70 F100/250; 67/70 F350 and 1960/63 Falcon.

There are several 3 bolt per side front bumpers. This is basically a flat front bumper ( [ ), dished slighty in rhe center to accomodate a front license plate. There are 2 widths, one about 4 inches, one about 6. The 4 inch bumper was used on 1957/60 F100/350. >> The 6 inch bumper was used on C Series tilt cabs 1957/91, and F500 and larger trucks from 1957 thru the 1970's. <<
