Gary Lewis Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Yes, really looking good! What year is the seat with headrest, Shaun? Cover looks good too. No one down there wants to be scalded by vinyl. Gary, it seems Big Blue is almost complete. What all parts do you have left???? Or are these parts BB came loaded with when you kidnapped him from Florida? Jein, Jim. I still have a whole bunch of the parts BB was carrying when I kidnapped him. And I have a lot of parts from you and from other members. Plus parts that I got off Huck. And then there's the parts I got off of other trucks I parted out. Some of those parts are in the attic. Some are in totes downstairs. And while there was organization in the contents of the totes when this started, that doesn't seem to be the case now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need all the shelf space I can get for when that 460 comes apart. Jim, I believe the truck was a 97 F350 cab and chassis, so I'm not sure if this is the highest trim level seat the C&C offered, or if there is a level above this. Either way, it's not vinyl and that's a good thing. I have vinyl seats in my Ranger and it's rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured I'd take this opportunity to dump some photos of all my trucks, and so we can all see why nothing is getting done on my F350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nice looking row of trucks Shaun. Well done. I like that nice shady (and level) back yard too. I'm jealous of nice flat property. My driveway and yard is all sloped, so I don't have a good spot outdoors to work on my stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture was taken facing north. The sun swings from the east to the west and beats down hard on the trucks. There's a big clearing right where I was standing, and the sun comes right through it from around 11am until about 4pm. Working on the trucks during those hours is rough and requires constant hydration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice selection of trucks! Later models shouldn't take as much time for maintenance, so when you get the new one "settled" you can turn to the Bullnose.

This one is at 75,000 so will need at the least transmission fluid, rear axle fluid, and coolant. I'm changing the oil too because it has a Fram filter on it. The coil has already been replaced at some point, as have the wires, but I will probably do plugs and wires too for peace of mind and to make sure it has Motorcraft everything. My white truck has seen over 130,000 relatively trouble free miles from the engine and I attribute that to full synthetic and Motorcraft parts whenever possible.

Finally picked up the "correct" shift lever for my T19. Apparently there are three (maybe more) different shifters from 83-87 (T19 only) as the one Gary has is curved, the one I have is straight (86) and the ones I've seen from 87 are straight but with the newer style knob and a slightly different shift boot.

That had to have been hard to find. So, what years was it used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salans7 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 That had to have been hard to find. So, what years was it used? No idea, there are no identification numbers on it, but I was told it was from a 1986 F350 and that correlates with what I've seen in my image searches. In 1987 the shift knob seems to be a different style, and the neck on the shift boot is shaped a little differently. Although those things may have been mid-year changes as I've seen the bullnose style knobs on early 87's too. As Jonathan and I have discovered, Ford changed the shift levers often and the MPC is worthless when trying to find the "correct" levers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
