yep, i'll even take a socket as long as the wire is good. trade or sell? Sorry, I didn't check the forum this weekend or I would have responded sooner. I do have the lighter, at least part of it, along with the two pieces of the socket. The lighter is missing the knob, but the bezel and heating ele...

I've got a socket, but no lighter...

Don't know if that helps or not?

I do not think these trucks came with the safety and reverse switches. They did not have backup lights. I do not recall what transmission you are using. Some c-6's came with the switch at the shift arm on the transmission itself. Most were on the column. You might want to take a look at later ford ...

I have a 63 f100 4x4 which came from Minnesota and it sure shows it. The floor boards need to be replaced and the drivers side front floor is the worst. You can see the left front tire from inside the cab, were there is a big rust hole were the hole is between the kick plate and the clutch pedal. A...

Auto glass is my profession and has been for 32 years. Yes 400 is high, even if he supplied a Carlite straight tint windshield, he still put over 300 in his pocket. Slicks are not Ferraris or Lambos, they are just not that hard to do even with the stainless. I always use sealant between the glass &...

Just curious...has anyone ever tried installing a Slick radio in '67 truck? The '67 model has a much smaller radio than the '68-up trucks, and it just dawned on me that the Slick radio is also smaller. Wondering if they'd swap with no mods needed. If so, it would provide a solution for '67 truck ow...

Interesting the seat re-enforcing brackets appear to be missing from the inner bolt holes of the buckets. Yeah, it looks like they just banged those holes in with a larger drill bit as the cab went along the assembly line. But also, if you notice, all of the outboard holes for the bench seat bracke...

Michelle: I just found more "XL" markings on bottom of the cab during my cleanup of that area.

Another round of work almost completed. Cab rotated onto its back to expose the underside for cleaning. https://s20.postimg.org/eyv0iaiwd/DSC02095.jpg https://s20.postimg.org/4db56ackt/DSC02096.jpg https://s20.postimg.org/6vwu6yyb1/DSC02097.jpg After cleaning reveals the "XL" markings in t...

Just in time as I am getting nearer to finishing the teardown/cleanup/repaint and almost ready for some reassembly...

I can recall reading articles in Mustang Monthly about adding a "flattener agent" to gloss paint when recreating the semi-gloss finish on some of the Mach 1 or Boss 302 hoods. If I can find one of those articles, I will forward the information on. Finding it will be fun, as I have subscrib...

I just answered my stupid question. I found the old radiator clip mounts in the pile of old parts. AHA!!! They were pressed together. Now... 1.Take one cab mounting bolt. 2.Thread into cab mount from above. 3.Wack with hammer. 4.Catch parts as they fall out of mounting holes on frame. Success! Thank...

How do i remove the cab mounts from the frame?

I have brain farted this and now that the cab is out of the way, I am staring at the mounts and completely forgot how they get removed...

Are they threaded together, press fit, force fit, hammer fit???

Thanks in advance for refreshing my brain.

Now the cab is completely gutted, doors are off and the cab mounts unbolted. Time to lift the cab and move it back next to the rear wheels for access to the front portion of the frame. https://s20.postimg.org/mt3vsf7l9/DSC02078.jpg https://s20.postimg.org/nxl2vbnsd/DSC02079.jpg https://s20.postimg.o...

Michelle: I just found these markings today when I removed the insulation pad off of the interior side of the firewall, just below the dash.

Looks like the Ranger interior code for my truck was marked on the inside.

Got some more work done today on the Slick. I started gutting the interior out so I can lift the cab off to clean/paint the frame beneath. https://s20.postimg.org/t6k8nkenh/DSC02072.jpg https://s20.postimg.org/t565zs4dp/DSC02076.jpg https://s20.postimg.org/9olgd999p/DSC02077.jpg I also found these m...
