Yep, thunk - thunk, + no rewind, no fast forward, the only options you have are changing tracks or muscle thru when an unappealing song plays. My my, we've all become spoiled!

I was going to install the Bilstein shocks, but one of the fronts had a messed up bushing. I did get a stubborn and crusty brake hose replaced and managed to get one wheel polished

Wheel looks nice. It's sad when a "quality" part like Bilstein is delivered with a glaring defect. Counterfeit?

I'm going to second the speculation about a black market part. That weld doesn't look like it's going to hold for long...

i just changed the thermostat on my truck, i thought the IDI thermostats were a little pricey at around 40. the one for my DT set me back just shy of 100!

i tested it against my old one though and it opens more than twice as wide. i was wondering why my temp gauge was refusing to come down very well towing on hot days.

Yeah I noticed the 7.3 IDI thermostat that is $40 through Motorcraft is $100+ through international....

Then I swapped out my IP with one from my parts truck. Now if I can get it timed correctly I should be seeing some progress! Seems to start better already though.

I recall the old radios that were actual radios and not computers. They had AM, FM, and some mechanical push buttons to change stations. Are there any sources for non-digital radios besides the junk yards?

NOS on ebay, but not so cheap. I saw a Zenith with 8-Track sell for less than $100, and it was NIB.
