    Painting door panels?

    I used SEM plastic/vinyl cleaner and adhesion promoter in the prep stage. For the paint on my 85 interior plastic I used Color Bond #75 Ford Crystal Blue. It was a very close match.

    Buyer Beware: Sterling Hub Socket

    Just used that same socket on my 97 Sterling and had the same issues. Spun it inside the spindle with an impact to shave off the black coating and it was better, but still too tight.... It got the job done but I was a little worried about torquing it accurately. The hub felt fine when the...

    2 ford cabs. 1 6.9 with c6. going to scrap unless someone wants them

    Do any of them have any dash parts left? I'm looking for the woodgrain instrument cover for my 85 and could head down your way on Saturday before you loaded them up. Might look at some other things while I am there. Let me know. Thanks.

    My Newest Acquisition: 85 F250 4x4

    My Newest Acquisition: 85 F250 4x4

    Since I finally got a coolant gauge in the truck I found out that the thermostat wasn't working as it was running around 130*. I always wondered why the heat never seemed to work real well...LOL Changed that out this weekend as well as the front brake pads. Improved the front axle aesthetics by...

    exhaust flanges

    Russ, when I rebuilt my up pipes for my Banks setup I ended up using 2x Walker 31885 flanges I got from Summit which are meant for 2.25" pipe and 4" bolt centers. They are bent up the opposite way with the tapered part and folded over edges being the same way, but it fit just fine up to the...

    Here is a pic of why the first trans was angry and the reason I go through all the trouble in maintaining a tow vehicle:

    My Newest Acquisition: 85 F250 4x4

    Recently I sent out my early Banks turbo to Typ4 for a rebuild and got it back a few weeks ago. I mocked up the turbo during the first ZF install and got the downpipe built to where my 4" exhaust starts at that time so I'd be ahead in the future. I also added some more insulation to the floor to...

    My Newest Acquisition: 85 F250 4x4

    So, been away from posting for quite awhile. Been keeping myself amused with everyone's triumphs, failures, and questions here though!;Sweet The miles have been racking up on the Ford as it has been towing my Scout's, scrap steel, and plenty of other things around the past year or so. DD duties...

    ZF5, T-19, Tailgate, etc

    Yeah, I have the stub in the trans. Currently I made a shifter out of some pipe so I just need the actual shifter stick, knob, and 2 bolts that thread into it. Let me know. Thanks.

    ZF5, T-19, Tailgate, etc

    ZF5, T-19, E-brake, etc I have a T-19 that I took out of my 85 F250 that has the bellhousing, shifter, boot, and barely used 12" clutch. Trans would pop out of 1st and 3rd on decell sometimes so it needs a rebuild. $200 obo. 12" T-19 Clutch $80 obo. I bought a "rebuilt" ZF5-42 off of some...

    f@#n slave cylinder giving me a hard time

    Just did this a couple hours ago. Get a set of vice grips and clamp them on the fork right below the divot for the pushrod as to not allow the pushrod to slip down (towards the trans) and out of its spot. Then, put the pushrod in its divot and start to compress the slave as it will be at about a...

    My Newest Acquisition: 85 F250 4x4

    I've been busy prepping the truck for it's trip back to Oregon this Thursday for the Binder Bee (Oregon's IH scout/lightline show) as we (IH ONLY NORTH) will be vending there. I was going to tow my scout, but the flywheel is most likely heat checked and the clutch chatters.... I've ran out of...

    PU Bed Differences

    Went to Pick N Pull this weekend and found a decent tailgate + hardware. It is even the same color! I had to glue the red plastic FORD reflector back on the aluminum trim and pound out a few dents, but it looks pretty good overall! Spent about half an hour adjusting it and it shuts like a dream...

    PU Bed Differences

    Correct, as that is the exact same thing I will be doing this weekend. Figured I would at least make the truck 50/50 pre and post 86...LOL

    PU Bed Differences

    Thanks Diesel_brad! That was just what I was looking for.;Sweet My thoughts were confirmed that I have an 87 and up bed on my 85 as the fender wells were different in the curvature and that definitely explains it. I can not fit my original 85 tailgate onto my roommates 87 PU as the hinges are...

    PU Bed Differences

    I have a 85 F250 4x4 PU that came into my possession with a barn door canopy and the tailgate in the back. The canopy is off and I am now trying to scrounge up the appropriate hardware and bolt the tailgate on the truck. The truck didn't come w/ anything on the bed hardware wise. Now, upon...

    Tailgate Hardware Wanted

    Yes I still have the camper shell. I have no idea on the make/model but it is in really good shape for how old it is. There are 2 interior lights and it is fully lined w/ wood on the inside. As far as for trade, I already have a tailgate and am looking for the pieces on the bed to affix it. PM...

    Tailgate Hardware Wanted

    I'm looking for all the tailgate hardware that goes on the bed of an 80-86 truck. I got the truck with a barn door camper and the tailgate by itself. I have the cables on the tailgate but need all the latches, hinges, rubber bumpers, and screws (hopefully) on the bed. PROBLEM RESOLVED/PARTS...

    My Newest Acquisition: 85 F250 4x4

    Finally got the truck closer to where I want it.... Is it ever finished? Probably have 40 hours or so into the rear bed welding up holes, shortening the tank, fabricating the headache rack, bedlining, and then making it all fit!:backoff I'm pretty happy w/ the final product and best of all it...

    My Newest Acquisition: 85 F250 4x4

    Finally got a 55gal drum to start my wmo gathering as well. I cut a hole in the center that was smaller than the filter bags upper hoop so they would have a nice tight fit on the lid. Northern Tool provided me w/ a barrel pump and I got the filter bags from Filter Source. For my first test, I...
