I’ll answer, not a lock, a switch, to operate the rear window.

Worth $101,850? I’m thinking the owner agrees!

Wow! That picture like the one of the Bronco, is excellent! Good looking rig!

Exactly! I'm not keen on lwb Flaresides, but I'll give it a nod for being unique;). What you said!

Oh OK, the 4.2 is unique I guess.

https://klamath.craigslist.org/cto/d/bonanza-1982-ford-f100/7585611570.html I thought the 82 model year started the grille emblem, no FORD on the hood. 4.2!

I didnt know Hagerty did that. I planned on using them once I finish my truck to insure it. I know the value varies from location to location. Here in Texas trucks always carry a premium that's why I was a little shocked to see value in my area lower than what you posted. I don’t have Hagerty insurance, but signed up on their site to have access to the valuation tool. I assume you can still do that.

EGR, hopefully that is the problem. Wish I could remember better, , had an EGR give me a stumble on a Suburban we used to own. Checked everything, all good, finally disconnected the EGR and found the problem.

Yes, that’s going to be neat! Nice job!

That first picture, the blue 1980 Bronco is a good looking rig.

Welcome!

I don’t know, I’m under the impression it does strange stuff. And it sounds like you’re on top of things, so I was trying to think of something that wasn’t checked. First thing I do on this era of vehicles is check for vacuum leaks. And with what it’s doing, the accelerator pump. Bill was mentioning a hairline crack in a carb he had in another thread.

Have you checked the adjustment of the TV cable? I’ve never dealt with one, but heard and read they can give you trouble.

Welcome!

Nice! Looks serene. Kind of a crappy job though!

It is funny and interesting. How someone thinks that shouldn’t be in the picture and the “rest of us” expect it to be there.

This is cool! But, this is why I appreciate you and this website and all who have contributed! I have used GM’s Heritage site, although now they changed it and to me make it hard to find your vehicle. Here’s the main site: https://www.gm.com/heritage?evar25=gmhc_redirect Here’s the pages for my truck and Suburban: https://www.gm.com/content/dam/company/no_search/heritage-archive-docs/vehicle-information-kits/chevrolet-trucks/1998-Chevrolet-Truck.pdf

Dang! Very nice!

Welcome!

Welcome!

And that too is interesting. My tranny cooling lines hooked right up.

I will disagree as I put the Champion in the 86 I used to have. And there’s one in my Bronco that fits nicely with all attached. Not saying Cold Case aren’t good or anything, but the Champions bolt right in. Champion wasnt a straight forward bolt in for the OP, had to drill holes for the fan shroud. Still others have various levels of bolt in, some bolt in more and some bolt in less. I checked all of the other radiator companies out and they are good radiators, Ive used them at work with lots of success. For me I opted for Cold-Case cause its made exactly like the OE one down to the stamped tanks to mimic the OE copper. They pride themselves on their radiators being indistinguishable from the OE copper once you shoot some black paint on the radiator which I will be doing. True, but it’s a 1990 fan shroud in a 1984 truck. Cold Case was on my radar, it’s good to hear your experience with them.

Those are nice and a great price!

I recently switched insurance carriers. So did my son. USAA, and I’m impressed with the savings! Also, my son just bought a 2023 Mazda CX 30. Nice car. Surprised that it was just under $25K.
