Did he say "decades"???? Ouch!!!

Welcome, James84!

Very nice truck! We have a member in Denver, Colorado.

Jonathan, I believe this one is for the engines which had the air cleaner remotely mounted on the driver's side. [???]

It is labeled as fitting other models [?], but I think this is correct for Bullnose models [check closely]. Good price??? https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-FRONT-WIPER-MOTOR-FITS-FORD-F-100-F800-AEROSTAR-RANGER-1980-ON-E79Z-17508-A/222877981876?epid=1772859565&hash=item33e4901cb4:g:DrsAAOSwuuRapWqU&vxp=mtr

Absolutely! Tell Janey that it is a sign...

Now that you are safely back, Gary, take a quick read of the prayer on the 1st page of the Bullnose Forum!

Oooh, nice!

They vary from truck to truck. See if you can locate someone with an infrared hand-held thermometer and aim it at the base of the thermostat housing, once the engine is up to operating temperature. Be very careful of any moving parts.

Gary, are you going to check the fuel mileage for this loaded and working trip?

Will your shop have a milling machine, lathe, blast cabinet, air compressor with refrigerated drier, built-in vacuum system, built in air lines, powder coating booth & oven, storm shelter room, ample work area, microfiche towers, sinks, refrigerator, bathroom, vehicle lift, A-M-P-L-E storage, sealed floors, full attic with 800+# overhead crane, fully air conditioned [upstairs and downstairs], security, office area with computer with dual screens, library area, etc., etc., etc.???

Great find. All of us will be following your progress!

Cool!!! [well, almost]

Yes, very nicely done!

Hey... this Bronco has a good bush bar and more importantly, it appears to have the very rare and elusive POWER MIRRORS!!!

Neat!

So sad! Too bad someone cannot get the measurements and placement of the graphics, since it appears to be mostly original.

This is to help other less than stellar mechanics, like me. Recently, I have been driving my wife's "old" car, a Pontiac Aztec. We have had it all but 2 years of its life and it has been good. Last week, I drove it to work and all was well. When quitting time arrived, I inserted the key and NOTHING... not even the ding, ding, ding associated with having the key in the ignition switch with the door open. A friend jumped me off and I drove approximately 8 miles to town, made an errand stop, restarted and drove ~3 more miles to the house and shut it down. The next morning, NOTHING! By the way, the car had a good quality battery which was ~3 years old. I pulled the battery and did a visual of the cells. All were properly filled and clear except for the one nearest the positive terminal, which had some gray flakes floating on top of the electrolyte solution. I connected the battery charger for a few hours and carried the battery to be tested. It failed. I bought a new battery with 800 CCA and promptly installed it. WOW! Everything went crazy! I had lights illuminated on the dash which I had never seen. When trying to lock or unlock the doors with the "lock button", there was feedback through the speakers?? The car could not be taken out of park. Nothing worked. Out came the new battery and I took it back for testing, yesterday [due to work schedule]. Well, it had 12.1 volts and completely failed when the load was applied. Back home with the 2nd new battery and installed and WHAM, it started and all is behaving as it should!! By the way, before leaving with the replacement new battery, I insisted that it be tested. It passed! This battery is rated @ 850 CCA @ 32F and demonstrated 920 amps @ ~70F.
