Gary, I’ve been looking around at AC parts and components and something I’m not finding easily is the heat/AC control panel without the dual fuel tank switch. I know they existed as AC was an option in Flaresides obviously but every time I find a controller or pictures of one it always has the dual tank switch. Hmmm... I have seen ones, even NOS, but not now. This one is different than mine as mine has "mix" for heat and defrost. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Temperature-Control-Excluding-Dual-Tanks-Fits-82-FORD-F100-PICKUP-480523/184025123907?hash=item2ad8c08c43:g:1MgAAOSwRg9dwtX2 This one is for dealer installed units: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Temperature-Control-With-AC-Dealer-Installed-Fits-83-FORD-F100-PICKUP-14778970/352802053978?fits=Year%3A1983%7CModel%3AF-100%7CMake%3AFord&hash=item5224a41f5a:g:dfQAAOSwH1BdiwUm

They seemed to show up once in a while in Non-HD F250's. Less than 8500 GVWR. Let me share a bit of trivia from one who likes the 300/4.9L engine. Ford offered the 302 in trucks up to and including the F250. The 300/4.9L was offered up to and including F600s. Hmmm?

Absolutely gorgeous dog, Jim!

Any good quality 10W30 should suffice. I suggest you use a Motorcraft FL1 oil filter. This can be had for less than $5 @ Walmart. 6 quarts.

Dave, This was kind of my plan, to trace out the AC holes and mark them on my Non-AC cab. It doesn't look all that bad. If you look at the marked up picture below, I see three things that need to be done: 1. A small piece would have to be added here...welded in I suppose. The AC hole here is slightly smaller (shorter) than the Non-AC. 2. This is the one set of holes that overlap each other. On the Non-AC cab this is where the blend door cable passes through. On the AC cab this is where the heater core tubes pass through. I would just cut it out and make an adapter plate here. NBD. 3. The inside air recirc hole, obviously not present on the Non-AC cab. This area would have to be heavily modified anyway, even if I install an aftermarket system like Vintage Air, etc, and at least with a factory AC swap, none of it is visible once installed. The local guy that is parting out the '86 with AC has gone radio silent, so I'm not sure if the parts are even available anymore. He was also trying to sell the whole truck, so it might be gone. I know of another AC truck that is being parted out, but the dash is no good. The factory AC dash has always been the wild card/difficult to find item. I guess at the end of the day, I could install a hybrid factory AC system. In other words, the whole thing would be factory, but I'd run flexible ducting for the instrument panel and dash registers. That wouldn't be the end of the world either. In any case, I think I'll make an offer on the 302 parts David linked to earlier. They're also a stumbling block that needs to be overcome. The parts appear to be complete except for the crank pulley, so I'll be on the hunt for one of those. Would this work, Cory? The description states 2 grooves, but I count 3. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-to-1985-Ford-Mustang-OEM-302-5-0-V8-2-groove-Crank-Pulley-D6DE-8509-B1A/202827285621?hash=item2f3972c475:g:lJsAAOSwHaddyx1g Edit: Here is an older NOS pulley: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-OEM-Ford-1973-1978-Galaxie-500-LTD-Crank-Pulley-1974-1975-1976-1977-302ci/401624167852?epid=2044580831&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item5d82aa75ac:g:Ge0AAOSwTFBbxln6&enc=AQAEAAACUBPxNw%2BVj6nta7CKEs3N0qXg9sCRNFFsr5VG56F%2F6duF8tjyeqskCI7X49Pup1KQs2BvElPINMbGeTDIxTrEEVokzELL0HARyX8Y6dmrWOByzZG9xMHumR2e8lVcAc7qAJ2iyG1%2BzZv2nsd9URHEse74XgcxdItJ8NvOAWjODYFa4sJ8OFXqq9sOBrqUAjS1OqPg33CiC666ReQFUGME%2BwKWLrpWOZL2xBVf7aAazgllHBGNoAS%2B0vwwwYb887QRZu0BTo47UMTkC5WWH7O7yFl7eKA6PWCUlQQibd1pXcpWZkh1XwxjqnyJy5PlkbhdzRYDLjJEtmztdUBkOS%2FCNPszddWOvDkHAXiX%2BUib0oFQiLt%2FB95VQvo%2BJJR%2BomQMB%2FM%2Fo0PQtREXXG5OlJrBBwY%2FpwF%2Feagxn2ZPvLSQatCInUdWudkevYThv%2BTLbRgP8Vds%2Biipb%2B%2FBd0kZHJVHWb%2Fs26AJVF2Yp9T4qshSj7V2WgPwMTXdU1N75FCVMf9XGblGlVBLJdbQun14rrpWcbnxInj%2FAYEQqbaJEqjxABNPFZiTgHNDN5qU6qqacdtCTOgTUvUM6PiSNjY0EZMblbKvO2EpWD8LNwqroqecCamyawx%2F0m25KHKAnfWQdGynmN7fZXpz91hANeppsgF%2FcOinbHFKkXaxGzkQBvWt2naHGx%2FAghTc4Y37Odgs7igHOtiVK5cu7rHPe7RHAgJh7Oe8txBovcdnUQV8llk63XUp9fwgVWZKWkYUfRp%2BtXrHHdp7SX4zjYRp6w%2FrfmvHspU%3D&checksum=401624167852e52832fcae594f4683a5196b0c518227&enc=AQAEAAACUBPxNw%2BVj6nta7CKEs3N0qXg9sCRNFFsr5VG56F%2F6duF8tjyeqskCI7X49Pup1KQs2BvElPINMbGeTDIxTrEEVokzELL0HARyX8Y6dmrWOByzZG9xMHumR2e8lVcAc7qAJ2iyG1%2BzZv2nsd9URHEse74XgcxdItJ8NvOAWjODYFa4sJ8OFXqq9sOBrqUAjS1OqPg33CiC666ReQFUGME%2BwKWLrpWOZL2xBVf7aAazgllHBGNoAS%2B0vwwwYb887QRZu0BTo47UMTkC5WWH7O7yFl7eKA6PWCUlQQibd1pXcpWZkh1XwxjqnyJy5PlkbhdzRYDLjJEtmztdUBkOS%2FCNPszddWOvDkHAXiX%2BUib0oFQiLt%2FB95VQvo%2BJJR%2BomQMB%2FM%2Fo0PQtREXXG5OlJrBBwY%2FpwF%2Feagxn2ZPvLSQatCInUdWudkevYThv%2BTLbRgP8Vds%2Biipb%2B%2FBd0kZHJVHWb%2Fs26AJVF2Yp9T4qshSj7V2WgPwMTXdU1N75FCVMf9XGblGlVBLJdbQun14rrpWcbnxInj%2FAYEQqbaJEqjxABNPFZiTgHNDN5qU6qqacdtCTOgTUvUM6PiSNjY0EZMblbKvO2EpWD8LNwqroqecCamyawx%2F0m25KHKAnfWQdGynmN7fZXpz91hANeppsgF%2FcOinbHFKkXaxGzkQBvWt2naHGx%2FAghTc4Y37Odgs7igHOtiVK5cu7rHPe7RHAgJh7Oe8txBovcdnUQV8llk63XUp9fwgVWZKWkYUfRp%2BtXrHHdp7SX4zjYRp6w%2FrfmvHspU%3D&checksum=401624167852e52832fcae594f4683a5196b0c518227
