Hello Rich

I need a "flat back" bumper and will trade my 87 chrome bumper with not only the top anti-slip rubber but the center "wrap around" moulding exclusive to my XLT Lariat and the bumper is "like new condition.

As long as the bumper is straight I do not care about the chrome as I am going to powder coat it anyway and install a draw-tite hitch, or Alan is I should say.

Rich, I have 2 local boneyards but they only have approximately 20 or so Ford Trucks.

Please advise and thanks!

Postscript: Dalton probably informed you already but he is looking for a good blue bench seat with center arm rest console with or without cupholders.

 

Well do you want one like this, or this? I will keep and eye out when I get back home when I am making part laps up at my local JY.

 

Hello and good evening Rich.

I want a bumper exactly like Dalton's on the first page of his thread: "My Southern Belle Build."

Thank you

Loony Boon

 

That's the same style bumper however mine isn't diamond plated on top

 

Ok so you want a 10" drop bumper like "Mr Pick Up" use to sale? Looking for you.

 

Hello Rich

Yes, exactly like the one pictured but no diamond plate and chrome is unimportant as it will be powdered coated black.

I just want a very straight bumper and I will ask Alan to fabricate a "draw-tite" style hitch as he is fabricating a front cross member for the front with a hitch as well.

My bumper is as I stated previously in excellent almost new looking and we can swap or whatever you decide so send me a PM of the terms.

On another topic I disassembled my laptop down to the system board which I do 3-4 times a year(cleaning) and when I pulled the 1/4" plug connector for the cooling fan the base came off of the system board! I took a chance and super glued it and IT WORKS LIKE NEW? That super glue obviously then will transmit electricity. I did a fresh install of the OS and have been installing 150 updates among other freeware.

Check this: I ordered a $6,000 Tower only from Dell(credit line for 10 years) and received a $1800 discount as I am a Small Business Customer and loyal to Dell.

I build them myself and it has dual 6 core processors which equates to 24 singles and dual 256 GB Solid State Drives with RAID 1 and spared absolutely no expense. It will be lightning fast and I am running Dual FP Monitors(I may go to 4). It is like an Enzo Ferrari. I am no mechanic but I know very well how to build a Computer System as I used to have a $25,000 Credit Line with Dell.

Now everyone knows that I am a geek and a technology freak.

Hey, a geek and a freak and a Loony Boon; what a combination! Ha ha!

I do know my way around Computers just not vehicles. Ho hum.

Postscript: I am also Schizophrenic so now you know; big deal.

 

The silver trucks bumper is a temp and better than what was on it (a contour style) and I might be entertaining the possibility to sale it. The bottom blackish one in the pic with 2 I would sale for alot less cause it heed some straightening, but its not bad.

How about G2G time I put it in the back of what ever I drive up there and we can go from there?

 

Is it appropriate to post craigslist links in here for references to the pictures?

for example:

I have a np435 4 speed transmission $50 (insert craigslist link here)

 

In the local FTE state chapter, I not see what it will hurt. Post up!

 

Thanks Rich! Ill add what I have listed so far then


Everything sold

 

Hello and good morning Rich!

Cancel installing the bumper for the G2G as I will have Alan fabricate both F/R Bumpers made from Aluminum Sheet.

I did not want you to spend your time installing the bumper as you have enough to do. Agreed?

Thanks anyway!

Mark

 

Ok by me Mark.

To any other new Missouri chapter folks that stop by here, always post up what you might need pieces and parts wise before buying. One of us is bound to have one, two or even three of what you might need. Some of us in the 73-79 dept are pretty "parts heavy"....some of us are REAL heavy on parts. lol

Alan (earthquake68) can always build a better one, than can be bought anyway. And is our local machinist/fabricator/body and paint guru. And Add Chip in the dept also.

RC has the old stuff, Chip and Dave are always parts sources too, and Jeff is a Ford truck parts scrounger just as much.

With good folks spread out all over MO, there is bound to be some OEM parts somewhere.

That also goes with rims&tires, lift kits maybe even a off brand part, just ask.

 

I need Jeep parts.

 

Lee is a jeep guy...there is one old Jeep in my local JY and not much left of it, but what do you need?

There is a place called Clements in Branson, big time Jeep part place.

Clements Auto Body & Salvage

 

Thanks Rich for the wealth of information!

Alan is definitely "one of a kind."
