Danny G Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I have never seen this radio bezel before. Is this something they did with the F2/350 series to distinguish between gas and diesel models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Never seen anything like that before. Seems to be a reminder not to fill the truck with diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford F834 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I’m going with owner modification. Ford already printed “Diesel Fuel Only” on the cluster mask directly below the tach for 6.9 trucks. Catalyst engines were marked “Unleaded Fuel Only”, and non-Catalyst engines had no marking there… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salans7 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 its the "f" and "m" that I am not getting. am I about to "face palm" ? help me out here. I've been playing with these trucks since around 2008 and I have never come across any photos of another truck with handwriting in marker on the radio bezel from the factory. It's definitely a former or current owner's handywork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would appear at some point in this trucks life someone used an oil based polyurethane or some yelling adhesive to coat this bezel resulting in the burl laminate to crumble. It also appears it was used to glue those letters in place came off pretty easy. They look darn well as old as the truck it's self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
