1986F150Six Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Thanks David Dan and I have been in contact a little and while I already have plans for mine, I am keeping a watchful eye out for any I see for sale or on trucks around here being parted out. So, Dan is GREEN with envy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986F150Six Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Dan - sent you an email this morning with one. It's an old one but like the universal ones that David found it looks flat across the front. So it will work, just won't conform to the hood. Slight crease in the middle http://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/file/n69445/IMG_20200804_131417.jpg Kickbacks on the ends http://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/file/n69445/IMG_20200804_131409.jpg http://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/file/n69445/IMG_20200804_131429.jpg Scott, this is for your bug deflector [you are in to retro stuff!]: http://www.2040-parts.com/kenco-the-original-bugman-bug-deflector-retro-yellow-i2309838/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot they made those things. Will be keeping an eye out for one of those also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller isn't willing to ship, but appears to be the fit for our trucks, and cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd ask him if you ship him a box with a prepaid label if he'd drop it off at the post office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An update, I found this NOS Owens Classic model in LA, and got it installed today. It’s notched on the back to allow a subtle bend to accommodate our trucks, and was simple to install. Regarding the smoke one I linked to earlier in Kansas, the seller agreed to your suggestion Scott of sending a prepaid box, but I no longer have a need, as I like the blue better than the smoke, so there is potentially a great deal out there for another forum member! Best, Dan I have no idea why the photo is upside down. I blame posting from my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 That looks great! Glad you found one. It looks good above, pun intended, but looks better this way. I'd missed that there was one in Kansas, my home state. So I looked at the listing and see that it is w/i 1/2 mile of our old house in Wichita. Small world.

dblohowiak Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 I think that photo is great, showing the blue deflector, even in the shadow! Quick update on my bug deflector mission. I found this old accessory on ebay for a few bucks and threw it on. Took some work, didn't like being uncoiled after over twenty years in the package, but whatever terrifying chemicals they used to make it worked, as it was still workable and shiny. Helps complete my "as 80's as possible" aesthetic along with my 76 antenna ball. Not for everyone, but definitely for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
