rooster5673 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Rooster, this is the best forum community to be a part of for bullnose trucks. Welcome. We would all love to see some photos!

1986F150Six Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I have been checking to find fenders ,dash pad, cab corners, hub caps that fit 4x4 front. I really don't know how much I can do now just a work in progress. It will go back to my grandson at sometime.

Gary Lewis Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I tried to send a couple videos and it would not let me. Do you have e-mail that I could send them to? To whom is that addressed? To post videos they must be hosted some place on the internet. The easiest way to do that is to put them on Youtube. Then you click the Share button on Youtube and get the "embed" code, which will look something like this: And then click the Message Is In HTML Format box above the Quote button, and paste the code in your post.

rooster5673 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Welcome! Where's home? We have a member's map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and I'd be happy to add you to it. And Steve is right, we need to see pictures! How to do that is in Bullnose Forum/Forum FAQ's. Gary I am in North East Tennessee Bristol Tennessee. Yes is back at home in garage where I can do some of the work. I have looked at several different salvage yards for fenders passenger side headlight bezel. I just started to check which would be the best to have the rust cut out and have metal put back or try to find fenders. I will have to do the same over the rear tires. Don't know if you have seen some of the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster5673 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Welcome to the forum Rooster! So, your truck is now back in your hands. Do you have any experience with body work or welding? With 50k on the engine it's hardly broken in. You should go over all the rubber bits though. (brake hoses, cab and bed mounts, spring bushings and shackles, etc) Check the steering components too to make sure it's safe. For some things time takes its toll no matter how well cared for. I have not very much experience on body work but I am going to try to some of the work myself. It is going to be a work in progress. Any information would be helpful. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I have not very much experience on body work but I am going to try to some of the work myself. It is going to be a work in progress. Any information would be helpful. Thanks I am not really the guy to ask. A few years back I patched up and painted my truck behind the barn. (Cheap spray gun. Self etching Epoxy primer and DTM industrial enamel with hardener for setup time and gloss retention) Used the Kubota to lift the bed off. Dave (FuzzFace2) just painted his truck in his ramshackle garage. His family is in the business, and he did a great job on his two tone flareside!

rooster5673 Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 What style wheel covers would you like? I have type 3's. David is our resident eBay sleuth. He can likely turn up what you want. Cab corners are tough to weld in with the bed on. (doubly so with a stick, I'd imagine) You might consider panel bonding adhesive. It requires much less ((welding)) skill and access. Gary has some discussion about this, when he had to modify his dad's trucks transmission tunnel for the bigger E4OD tranny. ((edit)) Panel bonding is that bondo . I will try to send you the pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Panel bonding is that bondo . I will try to send you the pictures No, panel bonding is not Bondo. Panel bonding is using a really, REALLY strong adhesive to bond a replacement panel to the original. Bondo is used to fill holes or low spots. When used to fill holes it is just a matter of time before the hole shows up again, meaning it is a temporary fix. However, it can be used to fill low spots in the body.

rooster5673 Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Gary I sent a picture of the hub cap I need I believe on 10/9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Gary I sent a picture of the hub cap I need I believe on 10/9 I saw the post with the picture, but don't remember getting a picture via email. If I did I missed it and I apologize. However, I don't have any of those hub caps. I'm assuming that others will see your post and let you know if they have extras. Or maybe David will find them via his searches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
