If you by chance find a U.S. Gear (or Doug Nash) OD unit for a 4x4, I'd be very interested. I'm looking for the style that mounts between the tranny and the transfer case. I think that one from any '80-'97 Ford truck 4x4 (gas or diesel, and any tranny) will fit...but I'm also guessing that you won't find one. :(

Since they have so many vans there as you said how about a muffler bearing?. If they do not have any of those then a bucket full of steam will be sufficient.

And some people have no sense of humor. I am sure if he seen or see it he will see it as a joke that you did not see. Lighten up a little and keep smiling.

If you come across a good set of dark gray sunvisors (I have an 85, don't know if 87-later will work), I want them. Mine have the sad looking droopy-hanging-in-front-of-you-so-you-can't-see-squat unfixable disease. Even just good brackets and rods will be OK, my visors are fine. Thanks for posting!

I don't know what Ford was thinking about when they hung those long visors on the little rods held in the pot metal brackets.

FYI a sun visor off an '87+ will work just fine...I think that anything up to '97 will work perfectly. I think that all '87+ sunvisors are cloth and have a bar on the far side to go into a sun visor clip...which is really something they should have done on the earlier trucks. I have no idea why Ford thought that the early sun visors were fine without any support on the far side cookoo

There is something I could use. Although small I could use the rubber tip from the sun visor where it clips into the bracket. The bracket I have the rubber piece I do not so every time I hit a large bump the sun visor on the passenger side flops down. The junk yards around here do not let you take the parts yourself and I know that they would want to sell the whole visor.

Another thing I could use is the mirror glass on the mirror outside the truck. It has the Ford RV mirrors. If they have any box vans there that might be the right one. Ford has it but they want to sell you the mirror minus the brackets for over $100 and I just need the glass that is held in by the black rubber.

Although not the greatest picture of the mirror this will give you an idea of the type of mirror it is on the drivers side.

I need a 92 crewcab rear door electric lock solenoid (they're different front/back). But, don't kill yourself on this one, they're kinda a pain to get to.

Reverse light wiring from the tranny to as far as you can go. Goes into the top of the tranny, dont know if a C6 wiring will work or not.

I need a fuel selector valve. If you find a cargo light with a good rubber grommit, that would be greatly appreciated. And a windshield wiper knob LOL.

Let me know if you can find any of these, and the price. It would be appreicated ;Sweet
