Cool pics Dan!

1985 Ford F-150 · Feb 28, 2010

Thank ya sir. Next thing I need to do with it is get the front clip off a truck in a junkyard here to replace the rusted out inner fenders and the grille.

Is there much in the way of decent stuff at the wreckers around you?

1985 Ford F-150 · Feb 28, 2010

Not really especially that old most places have already crushed em in salt lake so Im lookin at the older smaller yards around here that dont crush a whole lot. I called every yard in there and they said they dont have nothin that old. So far theres just the one yard here that has two of that body style. We also saw a late 50s Ford pickup and a couple gen 6 motorhomes.

I've had a couple of links sent to me from places in CA..seems they have quite a bit of stuff there and most is rust free.

1985 Ford F-150 · Feb 28, 2010

Eh theres enough farmers with rust free trucks that ill be able to find stuff. If not theres always Dennis Carpenter.

Not here...and DC doesn't carry what I need.

1985 Ford F-150 · Feb 28, 2010

What do ya need that they dont have?

DNFXDLI · Feb 28, 2010

So far, inner cover for heater core, foam type bushings for where speedo cable and heater cable go through firewall.

1985 Ford F-150 · Feb 28, 2010

Id just use rubber grommets so they dont rip and fall apart.

1985 Ford F-150 · Mar 24, 2010

The bump sides are my favorite, even more so then the dents....

Probably cause my first truck was a bumpside....

Hey all, new to the site. Thought I'd throw up a pic of my 67, pre restoration. She is currently in pieces. I'll be working on the frame here shortly.
