BigBrother-84

Can’t say about all platforms, but there are some app settings for “open new links” behavior, on Mac for Safari, Chrome and Firefox. On iPhone, Safari settings enable to setup opening and closing new links:

I’m surprised, since I heard that they are willing to insure an “antique” to its right value only if it does not take the road. Kind of “museum” artifact. Where’s the risk, fire and theft?

I have a 84 too. And I use the 85 wiring diagram, it matches. As Jim suggested, you should go step by step and send a picture of each part of harness or connector you are trying to elucidate. One by one would be great and more easy for helping you. Pretty sure that people here can help you to untangle this spaghetti.

Yep, that’s unfortunately the case of lot of us. That’s the reason I am wondering why the resale value of a restored Bullnose isn’t higher than what the market allows now.

Larry, I have another question about Discourse. With Nabble, a new post in a “sub” topic is rapidly hidden (so, easy to not be seem) if a new post is made. Ok, I’m not clear… Let’s take the example of the main category «Marketplace». A member posting a new request will not be seen if another member starts also another thread. How’s Discourse behavior about “new post alert”?

Sherlock, seems that you found an interesting explanation! Funny, GIF pasting has similar issue. Nabble looks to have kind of problem with its resize feature.

Lol! Sorry Gary, seems that we were typing simultaneously!

Hi Larry! In fact, Gary is referring to the issue numerous members encounter here with Nabble. Depending the way the picture is took with a phone, the picture can appear upside down or 90°C turned. Would be great if the platform has the capability to “read” at the metadata and automatically rotate the picture.

LMC sells the air duct. I had to find the radiator support adaptor (kind of rigid plastic boot) at my local salvage yard.

Watch out to not exaggerate with seats angle. Clouds are pretty but you still need to look a bit at the road.

Crew Cab! We're not numerous, welcome!

Ok, good to know. So modified mounting arms can do the job between 90’s Bronco and 80’s F-trucks. Since the bed is very similar between 80’s and 90’s F-series, chances are that the brackets could be “similar” too, assuming that their frame is also about the same… detail on which I have no idea.

Okay, now you're talking my language. But I agree, the last one is my preferred too.

Thanks Gary, that lets suppose that there is compatibility between Bricknoses and Bullnoses rear bumpers. But I was targeting the more “recent” 92-96 Aeronoses trucks. It would probably be more easy to find some good shape used ones out there.

Just curious, is there some serious rebuild option out there, for distributors? Maybe it would be more reliable to have an OEM rebuild than a new cheap replacement… The more I read about such “new” disappointing replacement equipment, the more I am questioning myself about possible quality rebuild options.

Just for fun, played around with similar grill, but with Raptor style lettering built-in. This is their original pict (hey Gary, looks same as Big Blue ): Curious, they do not show the installed grill, here is Phototshop result: I played with some variations, if painted:

Jim, I mostly agree with you, but not 100%. I make a distinction with chargeable hybrid. Like my Chevy Volt, for example. Until they will find a solution to stock as much autonomy in a battery than in a fuel tank (about what, 400 miles?), the chargeable hybrid enables me to do all my short travels 100% electric, and I can go see my son leaving at 360 miles from here with no stress. I have full control on the energy source, I can block it on electricity only, or allow fuel consumption. Average electr+gaz 76mpg since we own the car (engine only would be 48mpg if I never plug the car to charge the battery). This "far away son" has a hybrid Rav4, no possible charge... Frustrating, when he needs just short travelling, the fuel engine goes on anyway. OK, this SUV drinks less gazoline that a 100% fuel engine, but I'll never go this way. His sister just bought an electric Volvo. I won't go that way neither. She has to stop if she goes to visit her brother, no way to do it one shot, not enough autonomy. And charging what she needs to complete the trip takes at least half an hour, so add it to your trip time. So, until full electric vehicles will enable 400 miles PLUS a fast charging method, and considering the low cost of electricity here in Quebec, I'm confortable with the chargeable-hybrid solution. I was wondering why the automobile industry was abandoning the chargeable-hybrid solution (notably GM, when they ceased Chevy Volt production in 2020). Well, it seems that the game is not completely over... GM admits to consider reintroducing some chargeable-hybrid options. So, who knows, maybe it's not all over for a F-truck with such "chargeable" characteristics, and so with a more long range "mix elect/fuel" autonomy.

Hi people! I am wondering if Aeronoses rear bumpers can fit on our Bullnoses? From the exterior, they look pretty similar. Bullnose: Aeronose:

Which would be exact same situation than Big Bro, living without a clutch safety switch. I like the idea! An adjustable delay would be great too.

Boy, I prefer a massive temperature drop than your red flag situation, Gary. Thanks for information. I got this map on YouTube... Critical red zone very close from Skiatook! Please be careful.

Weather is crazy here. This February 27th, Mont-Tremblant, QC: Sunny 59,5ºF, record breaking. Should be around 21ºF, for this time of the year. Tomorrow some rain, will reach a highest 50ºF, at around 4 PM. Will drop during the night... a little bit. Minus one, at 08:00 AM, Thursday morning. Yep. A little 51ºF drop ahead, for about 16 hours delay.

Wow, that is strong support! I suppose you plan to put some load on this 28" inches shelf... Don't forget to strongly anchor the supports to the wall!

Lol!Gary, I suppose this video contains some dark military secrets? Not available outside US.
