Installed! Pix in WDYDTYTT. I think that's right?!

Installed the new NOS Battery Hold down and J Bolts! Thanks 1986F150Six!

Good eye!

Thanks again! I offered $22 and he countered at $24, which I accepted. So, 30.75 with shipping. Not bad!

Thanks! I think I'll get that puppy. I have a universal hold down in there now.

Interesting. I'm curious as to why it would be reduced also.

And, in looking for those lyrics I learned something - Glory Days was written in '84 and was released on a single in '85 - the B side of which was Stand On It. Seems quite fitting for Bullnose trucks in general and Big Blue in particular. True!

The "Boss" sang about you! "Well Jimmy Lee was hookin' 'round the far turn of a funky southern Florida dirt track He had mud caked on his goggles and a screamin' 350 stacked up on his back Well as he passed the stands he was feelin' all tuckered out, When through the roar of his engine he heard somebody shout "Stand on it, come on boy, stand on it"

Looks nice!

A plow is a good point. I was wondering what that might be. Never seen a mount like that though, seems kind of weak for a plow. But could be a small blade that doesn't move. Wonder about the brakes too.

So, is that what you are liking? That's #6, and I wanted to see what it looks like "up in lights". Yes, that's what I like.

I like it. I'm like Rembrant and have stayed away from Facebook since my boys graduated and aren't in sports, which FB was a great help. My family (mom's side cousins) have a page, and our kids do a lot of communicating on FB so I am begrudgingly getting back on more. I won't comment or even go to forums anymore if I have or see problems. That's why I really like this forum. Good people, good help, just good stuff. It's easy to not know what someone is saying or meaning behind a keyboard. I have had people react wrong and then (my own fault) have reacted wrong also. So, I have told myself to be careful, and be clear. And use my wife's 24 hour rule. If you're going to comment or reply on something that's not going well, wait 24 hours before you push send. It works! Again, thank you! And it is great how you keep striving to improve this website!

I like it! Brings out both names!

Made me chuckle!

Good eye. Wonder what that came out of? If it's not stock.

I voted Gary's Garagemahal. I like it because it's the original name. I found your website and FTE, and I don't recall hearing the term Bullnose, Bricknose or Aeronose. My vote and input, but your site, do as you see fit. I'll enjoy!

https://bend.craigslist.org/cto/d/86-fordspeed-crew-cab-dually/6633153402.html A/C is there, at least.

https://redding.craigslist.org/cto/d/84-ford-dually-1-ton-big-block/6631794373.html Looks pretty good. Some of the A/C brackets are there.

They may have put one in. If the VIN is correct it came with a 300 6. Hard to tell from the picture.

Sheez! That is your Grandad's Lincoln!

Dr. Google brought me this comment below: "People have asked me that same question about the canister on the air cleaner housing many times. It is a resonator designed to quiet the intake drone. " http://www.grandmarq.net/vb/showthread.php?48052-I-m-back!-and-with-my-new-75-Lincoln-Mark-IV I'm in the middle of a boring conference call, so I needed something to do...lol. TGIF! Ha! that's funny! Thanks, now I know.
