Now that we've finished listening to the ******** from the cheap seats, I'll add this...I may have been a bit hasty in my judgement of the DC weatherstrip.
I pulled my old weatherstrip, and installed the stuff from DC.
It seemed to mold itself around the contours of my door frame, and make a...
Reading is fundamental. Go back and read it again. This time, don't cherry pick parts of my statement out of context.Between DC, and LMC, DC had the best price.
But for generic weather strip (What I received), my local parts house would have been much cheaper.
I restored my truck (77 F250) using mostly LMC parts. Last week I decided to replace the weather strip on both doors. Dennis Carpenter had the best price, so I ordered from them. I got the package today.I have to say, I'm disappointed. I expected molded, factory replica parts. What I got was...
The "A" knob rear knob is for Tone. Bass Treble adjustment. Front is on/off and volume
"B" is channel selection buttons.
"C" is left / Right speaker balance.
The chome bar above the channel buttons should slide left and right, to select between AM and FM bands.
The right shaft front knob is the...
I just did this on my '77 SC. Buckets out of a '78 Bronco. The truck floor pan is stamped the same as the bronco, as far as the seat and center console mounts. But the extra holes (2 on each side, and 4 for the console) have to be drilled to bolt the bases to the floor.If you do this, be sure...
Sorry to hear of the accident. I have a '77 that looks a lot like yours. I'd be really pissed if that happened to mine. I know you must be too.Your profile doesn't say where you are. I'm in East Texas. (North of Houston).
I've got a '77 SC that I've pretty much parted out. The Cab is intact...
I looked into the "Antique Vehicle" plates too. But the restrictions are kinda harsh. To wit:"Antique Vehicle
Antique license plates are issued for cars, trucks or motorcycles that are at least 25 years old and are a collector’s item. The vehicle must be used exclusively for exhibitions...
I'd like to put a chrome rear bumper on my '77 F250. It has the original painted step bumper on it now. Are any of the later model F series truck rear bumpers direct bolt on's for our dent sides?
I didn't say he was bro.
My message was don't base an opinion on pictures. Which is what he was asking us to do.
I would also expand my search to eBay, and refine the search perameters to a geographic radias that he is comfortable in traveling to look at / buy a truck.
More options are better...:)
That's gonna be a nice engine when you get finished with it.I hate trying to work with something that some moron has already "Rebuilt".It's getting increasingly harder to find these old FE engines that haven't been molested.What are you going to put that engine in when you finish with it?
The last one looks good, but who knows when those pictures were taken? Maybe when he bought it?
The second one has been wrecked. 4 WD doesn't work. Frame damage?
The first one "Has some rust". Personally, I'd rather buy a solid body truck with a blown engine than a good running truck with rust...
Just curious. I had a bad experience on that site in their "Swap Meet" forum. (got ripped off)
I'd just like to warn others, before they get screwed like I did. Of course, it wouldn't do me much good if admin on this site is affiliated with that site as well. I'll just get blown off again.
For...
