You are finding EXPENSIVE things today.  Or, maybe I should say things priced way, WAY too high.

A starting bid of $239 for two chunks of iron?  Yes, they are NOS, but they don't go bad, and no one ever sees them.

But I'm confused as to what the MPC is trying to tell us in the info on those spacers:

"80/  F150/350 - - 4/w/d" says these are correct for 1980 through 1989 F150's, F250's, and F350's with 4wd

"85/  F150/250 - - 4/w/d" says they are correct for 1985 through 1989 F150's and F250's with 4wd.





See the note above about referring to group 5598.  Well, here's the info from there, and it talks about 1985 and later F350's.  Does anyone else find that confusing?

F350 blocks after 1985 are 4". That's why the F350 listing is different.

Side note, if anybody needs a set of the 2" blocks, I have a set lying around. Not N.O.S, but good shape.

Shaun - I assumed that was the case.  But I was really confused with the way the MPC lists the things.

Anyway, the 4" ones are what I now have in the back of Big Blue instead of the original 2" ones.  It is interesting that Ford changed those that dramatically.  And in the middle of the Bullnose run.
