    Pre-unleaded-fuel gauge cluster in a 1979?

    Both of my clusters (pre-79 and the 79) are all gauge clusters but the connector on the back side is not a match. Also, the printed circuit is different, so a swap may be tough.

    Pre-unleaded-fuel gauge cluster in a 1979?

    79 mocked upHere's a pic of my 79 with some "new" sheet metal. This poor truck was put through the ringer and left for dead. Luckily previous owners just wore it out and didn't screw it up where I couldn't bring it back with enough time and money. Since this picture, I have pulled the front...

    my humble dentWhile it won't ever be customized the extent of Maulmaul's I do plan to keep going on my 79 until it looks new. I've unbolted the original bed and will replace it with the rust free version I picked up a while back. Surprising how much difference a good grille shell and...

    The Dent "Parts" We Find

    drug home some new treasuresI picked up a very clean short-wide box last week. while there I also grabbed a better cab and some straight front fenders! My wife is now wondering why the project truck cost so much if no parts are usable. :hammer: It's like a lot of things; if you have to ask...

    Need opinions on best aftermarket body parts

    Thanks for the reply. I agree. there's no way to get top quality parts without paying the price. I want top quality and am willing to pay for it. I just don't have a feel for who the best suppliers are. National Parts Depot seems to have high quality parts and claims their grille shells are...

    Need opinions on best aftermarket body parts

    Hey everyone, I did some searching on this site to avoid asking a question that has probably been asked 100 times before... but didn't find much. The grill shell and inserts on my project 79 are trashed. I see new replacements ranging from $80 to $500. Common sense tells me the $500 version...

    Hey All, I just picked up a basket case 1979 F-150 4x4. It's like the living dead, that's why I called it zombie79. It has many similarities to the 1978 Free Wheelin step side I had up until 1990. I know quite a bit about the gen 6 Fords but I look forward to learning more from you all. I'm...
