    About interior trim...

    I've got an OBS F-150 at work with near mint interior trim behind the doors (the plastics that go around the rear of the interior). My custom doesn't have the stuff, or even a headliner. So - the question is - can I swap the trim into my truck? These pieces even have speaker holes... would...

    Glow Plug Buzzer

    Short story short, I caught the dome light on fire and pulled the whole unit. Since then, my glow plug buzzer hasn't been really audible inside the cab. I can hear it faintly, but everything seems to be in working order. Is there a relay I should check, or a fuse?

    En theory...

    As some of you may, or may not know, I'm currently doing a semi restoration on my F-Superduty. The following is in regards to obtaining a parts truck, sans putting a dent in my wallet. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/2467505114.html If I get into this truck for, let's say, $900...

    WTB: Air Intake

    Welp, I did it... took her out for a test drive without the hood and lost my air intake plastics. I'm looking for the part that sits on the core support and comes back to the housing; I'm in no need of the housing. Post or PM with a price. :thanks:

    Did I screw up or overlook?

    Went to remove the interior cab light bulb today and broke it... in the midst of that, the contacts touched and flamed up for a second. So I broke out the screw driver and just removed the whole unit. Anywho, I went on to install some sound deadener and finished that. When I went to start...

    Muffler Delete?

    7.3 N/A with el stock-o exhaust... I'm thinking about doing a muffler delete, but I'm worried about back pressure. The exhaust was disconnected at a flange before the muffler (Don't ask me... PO) and made a mess of things. I had it welded back together and it runs great now. But I'm still...

    DRW gen 8-9 guys... Spare tire?

    I can't see a proper place to mount a spare on my F-Superduty without doing some crazy hacking. Keep in mind the midship tank and rear tank. Also putting an air tank on the other side of the midship. I could go with a bed mount, but that's the last thing I want. Any drw guys got a good...

    5spd guys, I got a question for ya...

    Okay, some of us know just how rough a ride these trucks can be, let alone an f-superduty with the stiffest suspension this side of the Mississippi. Question is, have ya'll ever stalled out after hitting a bump? cookoo If I hit a hole or bump, I get thrown up into the roof of the cab...
