If I was an actual politician, I'd be a perfect liar...

Odds are ... Selling parts separate from truck will net you more $$$$. If your willing to still be peddling parts for a year or years to come...

It would take a special person to truly appreciate the parts when shopping for a truck.

What's the problem? Ford was famous for using wood in thier vehicles longer than any of the big three.... Henry Ford bought the whole dang forest... Heck if that was crammed in a bed cross brace it would be factory!

It is only gonna get worse Just wait, the feds plan to raise minimum liability insurance coverage for CDL trucks from 750,000 to 2 million... Per truck. Small companies/ independent operators premiums are bound to remain within reason.. (Volume discount may apply for SWIFT, Amazon, Walmart, etc.) Do...

Facebook marketplace is the easyist way I know of, to find the harder to find auto parts. I spent 2 years looking for a 3.08 front axel. Started scouring the marketplace and in less than a month, found one in driving range and within my budget. Search often and vary the search phrase "T89"...

Since you already have the shining example, wearing it's white sunday best.
How about leaving the new one in his work clothes, straight from the fields.

A quick check of thier web page, makes me say no, its not a direct replacement. What I found listed was an up date kit. A Blade style fuse box, and adapter fitting to connect to modern gauges, collums, with instructions to adapt to original equipment... I have not used one. So I will not go into qua...

I actually had to look at the title twice...

Thought I might be in the your moma so fat thread...

Will just five miles straight south be far enough away Pat?

The grey was ford original, over the parts counter l believe. I have seen several in the last few years... There was a ebay seller who had 7 or so grey replacement replacement soft covers in ford packages for sale... They went cheap(under $20) and quick(SALE was done in LESS than a week). Good luck ...

Updates?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

There is a rubber seal where the inner leaves the housing... Its probably brittle, but you may be able to slide it out on to the cable so you can actually see where one enters the other.... My vote is soak that outer housing profusely, to my knowledge there is NO inner lining on the protective housi...

But, Roumor is that the border will be open really, Really soon... Like the day after slick stock... Politicians are always a day late and dollar short, and good for nothing. Maybe we will have to make one of those, 2nd shift calls.... You will be missed my friend. But your slick, not so much.

With all the slick stock members trying to help install it, Id wager you will do nothing more than pay for it...LOL... the hardest part.
