Welcome!

That topside creeper is cool! I know you’re looking for a tire step, and I’m sure you’ve seen these. I have several, and carry one in the Bronco and one in the truck. I use these a lot. Even used two the other day, one to put tools on. https://www.harborfreight.com/step-stool-working-platform-66911.html?_br_psugg_q=step+stool

Welcome!

I had a 1988 F250 with the 7.3 IDI and ZF5. Funny, I thought it looked fine. Until I got my Bullnose. I agree, very blocky. I have seen some with chrome (fake chrome I assume) grilles or bull bars that improve the looks. I liked the dash and instrument panel as well. The ride I’m not sure, I think the bull and the brick are about the same, both were 4WD’s. I had a 1994 F250 with a 460 and E4OD also 4WD. The PO (my old boss) had the extra leaf installed in the front, man, that was rough! I used to joke that when you went across ruts in the winter, you had to reach down and get your teeth off the floor. I see a brick for sale once in awhile I wouldn’t mind having, but the prices of used vehicles is getting stupid.

It is nice, but ridiculous on the price.

Directly, with the N, I was able to log in. On the other link I was already logged in when I went there. iPad, using Safari.

That’s cool!

Congrats!

I like these steps. How will it fit with the 4WD front axle? Looks to me like it would hit the hub.

Good! Because after I posted, I chuckled to myself and said maybe mine is wrong! Good info on this, I find this kind of stuff fascinating.

I didn’t look real close the first time but after Gary replied I looked again. It doesn’t look like mine, the reflective part doesn’t look right neither does the Ford font.

Good thinking Bill, I remember seeing or hearing about that.

I’m a steelie fan with or without dog dishes, I prefer without. But the do dishes are cool IMO.

$200 is about $175 more than I want to pay for it! Be nice to have, but…

Just something I looked up, because I was concerned about the Holley power valve issues. Holley carbs built after 1992 have the check valve. Item number 1 in this link. https://forums.holley.com/entry.php?430-Holley-Power-Valve-Tuning&bt=531

It seems to be hit or miss on the parts manufacturers anymore, it’s frustrating. I like NAPA, but I understand what you’re saying. I got two bad or incorrectly manufactured pickup coils last summer from NAPA. I just don’t know, I would try the Bendix, I would expect good parts from them.

Wowza! I never used dash covers, until this bullnose. The cloth type that velcro on. It’s looking better all the time.

That’s great! Good thinking on getting it up and in there. Those RV jacks are a good idea.

I guess. I thought patina was a fancy word for people like me who don’t do bodywork!

Here’s an example of way too rusty to me.
