I've had both, and yes FI is the nicer, but it's a farm truck after all, umm, well it was suppose to be...

A farm truck in a dream?

I had a 84 F150 with a camper shell and a queen mattress in the back.it was useful to sleep in my truck when me and the wife went to FL

the replacement Motorcraft carb had a fuel bowl vent, so I put a K&N filter on it.

this is the smallest filter I've ever seen!

here's a close-up

just needs to allow any pressure in the fuel bowl to be released, and the truck has no emissions from the factory, so no charcoal canister.

Looks good Roy.

That's a cute little feller! I didn't know they put vents on the float bowl.

neither did I. Some carbs have them built in. It has something to do with emissions, since they are hooked up to a charcoal canister, but the mechanic I know said this works fine, no need to track down all the plumbing and charcoal canister. And yes, it's cute too

steering wheel insert I'm picking at the new job I went to in the morning. It has the same Rosewood as the dash. Has a locking glove box latch that has chrome tabs instead of black, getting that too!

I know makes it hard to decide on what style to put on. That is why I painted mine. I also found it hard to get corner pieces for the headliner in a 85 model.

horn pad before

after with Rosewood

and a new locking glove box latch, cause this one has the chrome tabs

Yea your on Cliff, was a late day for me. Thanks, man I wish the door panels weren't damaged, they have the Rosewood inserts too, bummer
was looking high and low for the horn pad insert without the cruise buttons. Ford sure has many styles.
