Hang in there, Gary! Maybe you remember this:

Danny, Check with these folks. https://smsautofabrics.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw4_K0BhBsEiwAfVVZ__JSmOCJnBrfJ3Fyn3Nvi9s1OzKTUvahSx2jFUXYuBrdNEQbnszz9RoCtpAQAvD_BwE

Gary and Bill, You two are a combined wealth of information. Thanks for contributing to the forum!

Here is some beneficial reading for the OP: https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/tachometers.html

A blessed grandson!

Obviously, there are several ways to repair or replace the fuel line from the fuel pump to the carburetor inlet, as has been discussed. Just be careful with the 300/4.9L engine [my favorite!] in that any leakage near the carburetor is directly above the exhaust manifold.

Happy 4th of July!

Gary, have you had time to install the cooler range spark plugs?

Sweet home Alabama!

If in decent shape, the bumpers are desirable.

Expensive and note that they are located in Bogota, Columbia! https://www.ebay.com/itm/226210789674?itmmeta=01J1ACWKSVH9DQXDK60A5YPJR1&hash=item34ab36b92a:g:OT4AAOSwq-9megaj&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4KpjcOZ%2FhLhEJsXJpqXVJ4Nojol1lhgQqkH3p7pce40Q6MgYb2EaBFrgSGBT6MJHX0SQAK%2Fh9OXSrOktnFnX%2FDaGrYP%2FT2QNxJAwZWR65euaKIFWTY%2FckaPI1eCcl1fG10Z0lWgj%2BLAVDENeRije%2Bmjba0Sw8gPvLPqyGUkg5%2Fbe2oWMHqbm4RyZDKooWuUs3tdbheovZNM1OgDiUv4O2cYp2jiRkL0p3R6HUvTneYZZqZzl5fhnpmjSdcQ7G7QQKw5xPn%2Fq%2B9wJM9LVEYsPjyKeH8E2UVGHdNijn6UnVXei%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4C98syKZA

The tach looks good, Gary! I am glad that it has a new home in Big Blue.

So, is Gary having a birthday? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Would you consider aftermarket until you can find original ones? https://www.ebay.com/itm/303778996847?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1KL_fqfYdTK-EpIB15qs-sA56&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=303778996847&targetid=1644837435243&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9012676&poi=&campaignid=20394037589&mkgroupid=146829523890&rlsatarget=pla-1644837435243&abcId=9317243&merchantid=6296724&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwr7ayBhAPEiwA6EIGxIrQtRObcWZPMBk5oUuMUqA_N6RlQMAk-QxKP49OaWFsLB9ySU9lThoC4TEQAvD_BwE

A very nice truck!

Jonathan, many years ago, the rear gears in the 1984 F150, which belongs to my son, were changed from 2.47 to 3.55. A variant of the following was used and is still working! https://www.ihpartsamerica.com/store/SPEEDO-GEARBOX.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwupGyBhBBEiwA0UcqaOIBAYZqImP-K7lYhQkFj6QcCQidhTmPb8k4VRFjetvDI8VMmjZMkBoC6LEQAvD_BwE

I pray that you have a rapid recovery, Jim!

While searching for something else, this popped up and I wondered if any of the newer members might be interested in the topic of improved gas mileage in a Bullnose truck? https://www.garysgaragemahal.com/#nabble-td39075

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1400393-2015-fall-gtg-oklahoma-chapter.html Scroll down and you will see a 4000 RPM tachometer in a 1986 F150 with 4.9L engine. Gary, remember this back in 2015?

Do you have spark at the right time? Try advancing or retarding the timing. Maybe have someone turn the key [in neutral] with brakes on and you rotate the distributer until it fires. Remember, on the 300/4.9L engine, rotating the distributor CCW advances while CW retards timing.

Gary, I speak for all of us who want to express our gratitude for all the effort you put into maintaining this forum! I vote for the discreet offer of funding through your email address.

Will this work?
