    So, my dad is driving my dentside...

    ...because his 2006 F 150 broke down.We think it's the fuel module, but he's been waiting all week for one to come in so he can get the truck back on the road. In the meantime, he asked to borrow the Jolly Green since it's not my daily driver for my 1/2 hour commute.My point is. His...

    80's Bronco Steering Wheel - Will it fit?

    It seems to be that the early 80's steering wheels are exactly the same as the 78-79 wheels, but I just wanted to ask if there are any dumb little hidden troubles in swapping one into my truck, ie, turn signal canceller, etc..I went to the you-pull-it last weekend and found the best looking...

    VIN Tag on Bed?

    Hey guys-I never knew there were VIN tags on the body anywhere besides the door, but I just found this tag on an old rusted out, unsalvageable bed that I cut up to take to the scrap yard. It was hanging on the bottom front of the driver's side bedside panel.Am I the only one that never...

    Horn

    Hey, Guys-My horn is not working at the moment. It will sometimes sound sick when it hasn't been used in a while, especially in damp weather. I always figured it's drawing moisture--when you blow it a couple times in works again.Now, after holding it in, and banging on it a bit while a...

    Packing Hubs

    Dieseling

    Hey guys--been a while since I've posted.My truck has been dieseling when I shut it down for a few days now. It was real bad for a while--then I backed the timing off and it seemed to help a lot. It doesn't do every time now, and when it does do it's not as bad BUT it still diesels when I...

    Squeaky Seat

    Hey guys,My bench seat sqeaks a lot when I'm in the truck by myself and hit any kind of bump. Kinda sounds like a cheap hotel bed. When I have a passenger though, it does not. Must be either the weight on the other end of the seat alone--or extra weight of two people--that keeps what...

    Red is TOTM!!

    Congratulations, Ben! Red certainly deserves the recognition! I have to say it's one of the nicest all around dentsides I have ever seen. Not only does it look great, but I'm jealous of your motor build and dual D 60's too.
