Is that a promise, or a threat?

With all those Billboards who can read the small text in between ?

any clue what the clock options worth now days? I want to go A/C so the clocks going.

Dennis, my U-haul AM digital clock radio doesn't look at all as the one you pictured. I will picture it tomorrow and look for part number.

II wouldn't know the value of that clock. There's soo much aftermarket clocks out there. How much someone is w3illing to pay for it, is the value.

I'm sorry Dennis, my bad.

here you go!

High Jackers LOL glad to see were all having fun lol.

I'm already using two of those Ed

Attached are some pics of the radio. Note this radio was in the truck when purchased, but has been replaced with a cassette player radio. I kept the original radio in a box downstairs.

This radio must be an aftermarket special order radio much like that clock.

Sounds like a K-Mart Special

Wasn't Ford using Philco radios during the '70's?

It's a U-HAUL special.

U-HAUL did all kinds of weird things and had unique parts for there morph-mobiles.

I'd be willing to bet that the U-haul trucks didn't come with radios from Ford.

The aftermarket radio was added by U-haul.

Ohj hahah K-Mart special..... Probably was.

It is an aftermarket radio ordered by U-haul and placed into them in the factory. I'm not sure the exact number of thoujsands of '79 trucks U-haul had Ford build them. The radios was one way U-haul saved some money to build. My truck has a heater with cool air vents, not a/c. Many of the same trucks had no heaters or a/c or dealer installed ones.

The only other thing is I have no cigar lighter. Saved them some bucks. I have the ashtray tho. Back then, U-haul dealers handed out packs of matches, so smoking was allowed in them. It probably cost less to hand out some matches everytime the truck was rented than have the lighter installed?

I could care less, I don't smoke.

I sincerely doubt Ford installed aftermarket radios for U-Haul, you wanna know why?

Because, Ford could not (and would not) guarantee them. The radios were installed by U-Haul themselves.

Factory radios were covered under the same warranty the rest of the trucks were. The warranty on the U-Haulers, as I recall, was less than the production trucks received.

Heaters became standard equipment in 1966 on F100/350's (mandated by the Feds, btw), so if some U-Haul trucks didn't have them, it was specified as a heater delete.

I hated looking up parts for these U-haul trucks. PITA

It wasn't so bad (uh huh)...Coberly had the contract, then later Crenshaw did.

Once you got the hang of it...it wasn't any worse than looking up 4WD front axle or brake parts without a tag number!!

You guys ever check out the U-haul truck Parts for sale web site ?

You can actually buy there old trucks as well some times good deals. Just log on to Uhaul and check the for sale colum.

I've bought some odds and ends, like wiper arms and a throttle spring from UHaul.
