kustomizingkid, no problem taking care of the paint here! lol My '96 F150 4x4 reg. cab long box, Silver CC metallic looks like it came off the show room floor (except for the small rust area on top of the wheel housing, aarrhhgg). I try to wax/ polish my vehicles twice a year, once in the...

Mil1ion, my painter is going to use PPG's Deltron line as PPG was the only one I could find the EXACT color code / chip matches to the original, just in BC/CC rather than enamel. I posted the poll just to see what others would like / use. PS: i hope / think they have the silver / grey peeling...

Mil1ion, my '78 crew's color codes are AV (black and med silver poly), with racetrack trim. BC/CC look good here or enamel?

Just a quick poll to see what everyone's opinion is for paint on our 30+ year old trucks. Would most paint them with the original enamel paint to look really original OR use BC/CC that is easier to take care of but has a somewhat "plastic" look to the finish. Interested in your opinions!

Got all the door panels painted for my Crew - do they ever look nice! kustomizingkid and ranger429 - I used the SEM plastic adhesion promotor along with the SEM Color Coat (Landau Black) - they look just like brand new ones if not better! Thanks for the advice guys.

Ok thanks for the responses guys! Sounds like it's not too big of a deal to do then.

Hey guys, just wondering if anybody has painted the inner door panels from a 73-79 truck/bronco. What steps did you use, paint products, etc and did they look like originals after they were painted? Would you paint another set if you had to do it again or buy repro ones? Thanks, Eric

Mil1ion, would the part number for the CB antenna mast be the same for both the trucks/ broncos and the Mercury / Ford cars? ie. did ford use a different part number for the mercury CB antennas? Thanks for that bit of information!

HI guys, since you all have way more junk yards in your parts of the country, could you be on the lookout for a Ford CB antenna for a 1978-79 Ford truck or bronco?? I am wanting one badly....if you don't know what they look like, Ranger429 has one on his bronco (look in this gallery / profile...

Ya that seems like a lot of cash, but this price is for a PAIR (2) moldings. The NOS ones go for $70 a piece. And think you can buy both of those from DC reproductions? - think again. Every time I called about the right molding (I think it was the right, could have been the left), I got the...

Bucks, even tho Bronco lists it in their catalog, they simply drop ship it from DC and DC is out of stock on grill shells. So you wouldn't get one from either place. BOTP sells both DC parts and imports - depends on the part. I'm starting to wonder about DC. I"ve called them wanting a...

Crewcab partsI'm looking for the following parts for a 1978 F250 Crewcab:Drip rail moldings: RH: D3TZ-2551726-A LH: D3TZ-2551727-AAlso: CB mast (the part that screws into the antenna base) D80Z-18A886-ACan anybody help me out - kinda lookin for NOS but anything that is in excellent...

I believe I would keep the tank full of fresh gas to minimize condensation / tank rusting. If the tank if full 20-30 gals, you shouldn't need Stabil because of that large of quantity of fuel. The gas is blended with only 10% ethanol and will not hurt the fuel systems on these trucks. I run...

Dennis - back on post #10 you mentioned that "they have a chrome tape for that now". Who is "they"? Does it look as nice as OEM chrome striping? I would like to redo my A/C vents. Thanks,

Texas - after doing the LED light upgrade to all the lights, does your dimmer switch (for the dash lights) work as well as with the incadescent bulbs? I've heard different things: some say yes it works and others say dimmer doesn't work. what is your experience?
